According to the "Official" Coleco History Book, Coleco hired Eric from Midway in 1976 (p46).

 

By P&D do you happen to mean Coleco's Advanced Research and Development (ARD) department which Eric led?  Again, according to the above Coleco History book, it would appear to be in 1979 that the ARD department was formed (p69).

Yes. In some sites ARD is labeled how P&D. Sorry, P&D is acronym in portuguese language.
Thanks!

When Bromley see Donkey Kong for the first time, had this game already released in Japan?
