The ColecoVision was Coleco Industries' second generation home video game console, released in August of 1982. The ColecoVision offered arcade-quality graphics and gaming style, the ability to play other home consoles' video games (notably the Atari 2600), and the means to expand the system's hardware. ColecoVision was released with an initial catalog of 12 video game titles, with 10 additional titles on the way for 1982. All told, approximately 170 titles were released in the form of plug-in cartridges between 1982 and 1985.
ColecoVision Hardware
The design of the main console unit was a 14x8x2 inch rectangular plastic case which housed the ColecoVision motherboard. An opening to a cartridge slot was visible on the top right side of the unit. An external power supply and RF-jack connected to the rear of the console, while the handheld controller connected into a depressed bay inside the top-left of the unit.
The ColecoVision controller design was rather similar to that of Mattel's Intellivision (introduced in 1979), but had a stubby 1.5 inch joystick instead of a disc pad. The joystick portion of the game controller was placed at the forward end of the rectangular number keypad. Two side buttons and the number keypad provided additional functionality such as jumping, shooting, or entering a sequence of numbers. An ultra thin keypad slot was designed to insert plastic overlays which mapped the keys for a particular game. Two controllers shipped with each unit.
