Welcome to the Retroist Colecovision Podcast. As a dedicated Atari fanboy at the time, I wanted to draw a line in the sand when it came to consoles, but Colecovision made that challenging. The graphics, the games, the promised addons, it was all too much and I really wanted to get one.
On today’s show I discuss how I almost landed my own Colecovision. Then I move onto the console itself and talk about the company behind it, its release, reception, peripherals and so much more.
These early years of consoles were interesting. We were already seeing people starting to identify strong with specific brand. It makes me wonder if I had actually gotten a different console, might I have turned it differently?
