Is that from the 70s? --- End quote --- The Colecovision was a console released late during the 2nd generation (Atari 2600 & 5200, Magnavox 2, Intellivision, etc.) in 1982. It was easily the console with the best looking graphics of the bunch and had a solid library, of course not nearly as big as Atari 2600's, though. It had arcade-quality ports, for many of the games of the time. Which was a pretty big deal back then. And until the NES and Master System came out, the Colecovision had the best Nintendo and Sega home-ports (at least in the U.S., in Japan they had the Sega SG-1000 and Famicom). It even had an add-on that allowed it to play the massive Atari 2600 library, which led to a legal battle between the two, with Coleco amazingly coming out on top. But then the Nintendo NES came out and changed the landscape for everyone, and Coleco quietly exited the video game scene. I still hate the controller, though. But then I hate most of the 2nd gen system's controllers. |

Simply from sitting on the shelf in it's box for too long. I didn't bother to clean it, though. The wires do have rubber covers, as long as you don't do it while it's plugged it, I'd imagine it would be safe to just clean it off with a wet sponge using the rough scrubby side of it. |

There is nothing that a shopvac, soap n water and some vinegar cant clean. So no I don't throw anything out. Nothing like finding roaches under/in the power supply since its nice n warm. I live in Florida so its like ehhhhhhhh *shloomp* down into the shopvac they go. |
