Colecovision was a more advanced alternative to the classic Atari 2600. When it came out i remember TV advertisements with a snooty george plimpton explaining to families how it was the superior home entertainment system. I think it even allowed for a keyboard.


I had the luck to borrow a unit from a friend. It had a great rendition of Wizard of Wor; A two-player maze shooter


And this space-defense game that mixed some tactics in with the action - somewhat new at the time - was quite fun. Can't remember the name at the moment.

Thanks fms for *writing* this.
