SavannahDJ #1 Posted December 17, 2001 Can someone tell me what the difference between Colecovision and the Atari 2600? The very first time i even heard of it was on that South park episode and someone told me it was like the Atari. I was just wondering what were the differences. Thanks.

Lemmi #2 Posted December 17, 2001 well its big and black and the controllers are the keypad type with a circle disc on a short stick, the games have better graphics and sound, it has cool accessories like the driving controller (steering wheel), a 2600 adaptor to play 2600 games on it, a roller ball controller other then that im clueless but i love my colecovision , and others might have a better description of the technical kind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavannahDJ #3 Posted December 17, 2001 Was the Coleco made after the 2600 then? When was it made? Was it supposed to be in competition with the 5200 or 7800? I know almost nothing bout it. I know you think that seeing how i grew up in the 80s, i would know something about it, but I never knew anything bout it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
