Colecovision system review and retrospective

[sequence130]

Does anybody know how to convert a UK PAL system with composite out into a scart output? or even if it's possible

[starsoldier1]

@sequence130 I think maybe using a VCR might help but I don't know for sure?

[deweytrux]

Such a beautiful system. It looked so very sharp, like German WW2 uniforms.

I want a mint box with the styrofoam inserts and all the accompanying booklets.

[lakersfankobe]

DUDE I am hating so much right now. You dont know how bad I want a CELECOVISION. I need this system!

[starsoldier1]

@lakersfankobe I recommend looking in flea markets or classic game stores to find one in the wild.

[wingnut4427]

Check out what the colecovision could do !

this system was more awesome than anyone knew back then !

[Riotzone77]

Never Understood why that system didn't catch on considering how much better it was to Atari and intelevsion? Lack of marketing maybe?

[starsoldier1]

@Riotzone77 Bad marketing and bad timing too. Coleco poured a lot of money into the failed Adam computer too and that didn't help the Colecovision either.

[wingnut4427]

sad part is.. that it could run games right on par with the Nintendo but it would have required more expensive & bigger memory chips. It would have driven the price of the games so high it would have killed the system. I don't think I would have ever been able to convince My mom to buy me a game cart that was $60.00 back in the day. lol

[awesomepivots]

I just got my replacement colecovision today! its beautiful! and to be honest...i think it came from space! (just a guess)

[starsoldier1]

@awesomepivots It does look space age-like, eh?

[TheST2K]

YouTube game? lol what the heck.

[wolfmweh]

Bloody hell dude, i thought i was older than you :/

Retro FTW!

[JasonRelaxation]

never played it before wires from controllers looks like they took them from a non portable phone all curled up

[starsoldier1]

Yeah, the controllers are pretty f'd up there.

[TonysGames]

sweet video I need to get a collecovision are they good?

[starsoldier1]

I like them!

[SnapCraft316]

Yeah, the power brick that is the plug itself is from the US.  Crazy.

The manual even says you should unplug it when not playing.

[starsoldier1]

@SnapCraft316 that sounds dangerous if the manual says you should unplug it.

[jillpoo3]

Wow!!!! I Love your videos!!! This is the CV lesson I needed!! Thanks man!!!

[starsoldier1]

@jillpoo3 no prob

[jillpoo3]

I am trying to get all the NTSC NES games like you have!!! You are the man!!

[MNC122703]

[xxkomebackkidxx]

I like seeing these system retrospective videos. I need to get my hands on a coleco someday.

[starsoldier1]

@xxkomebackkidxx Thanks, the system is very underrated in my opinion.

[pirosoffaireyes]

Man you should be more poplar your videos are pretty cool. And you got OVER 300! Man and they are all cool i watched like 1-- already but it takes long to watch all of them. LOL

[starsoldier1]

Thanks :D

[Noyjeetut]

Just saw that eppy of SP. Good over view man. Much better cord you got. Amazing they still make games.

[starsoldier1]

Poor Kenny, I'm sure if they played it those brats would have liked it.

[darkcrow220]

good review, i played colecovision at a friend's house back in the day :) 5 stars

[starsoldier1]

Yeah, that's how I first played it too.

[sinistermoon]

I love my Colecovison! I was playing some GhostBlaster last night. Awesome video man, nice Coleco collection there.

[starsoldier1]

Thanks dude. Ed should have never been kicked out of the Ghostbusters!

[vinnieblacklodge]

[starsoldier1]

Heh heh, the game does have some pretty good music, eh?
