@WebVMan In the 80s all video games were marketed towards boys...it wasn't just Coleco.
-
I don't think Coleco went broke because of the scholarships...at $500 per scholarship they were only out 2500 bucks for all the Coleco Adams sold.
-
Hey! Where's MY scholarship??!! My parents bought an ADAM during that time period!
-
Buying a Colecovision and a game cartridge to get a free cabbage patch kid, wonder how many bad the riots were for Colecovision that year were
-
the adam may be easy at first but the biggest curve is when it breaks
-
@boiledcrap Sounds like Zaxxon...

@rifter01 Don't forget about mousetrap

@fullflavormenthol Not necessarily true. Money had more value than compared to today's standards. American money has been losing value every year since we adopted the Federal Reserve and dropped the gold standard which back the money at one time. Now money is not backed by anything
As for the issue of expensive computer it was due to the fact that most of the technology was new and not being mass produced like it is now. RAM was horribly expensive due to how it was manufactured.

@dogeymon83 You have to remember that $500 had more purchasing power than it would today.
So believe it or not it was quite a bit of money

A $500 College Schollarship with every ADAM, no wonder Coleco went bankrupt.
