If you have a Dreamcast, they have fully emulated the Coleco Vision for it. 300 Games, 1 disc.

Uh, that's an emulator for a PC! Not the Dreamcast!

I still have an original Coleco with the Atari2600 adapter. We still play it about 3-4 times a year. I like Ladybug, Omega Race(with track-ball), PepperII, Venture, Zaxxon, Mr. Do, and Mouse Trap.

Here's a good resource for all things ColecoVision! You'll probably find someone there with games to trade or sell.

Desmond is right. It's a Dreamcast port of a PC Colecovision emulator. Dreamcast runs Windows CE, so it's easy to port Win9x apps over to it, like this Coleco emu.

I've been playing the "modern" machine for about a week now. Damn, I don't remember Zaxxon being so hard! I guess 20 years of age will take a little responsiveness out of a control. I still kick a$$ at Squesh'Em Sam though.

Hey, has anyone played Sewer Sam? I never got that game and haven't seen it for sale on Ebay yet. I was just wondering what it was like.

There are quite a few on Ebay at any given time. Just don't overpay. Some people go nuts when bidding. I got mine for $30. It didn't have any games, but you can get them for pretty cheap.

Just downloaded it and played Miner 2049er (my favorite ColecoVision game). It was exactly as I remembered, though my skills were very rusty. THANKS!

Hehe.......oh man, the Colecovision......my first video game system.....my folks spent some money on that machine back in the day......but I sold it, and that was that. It had great games, Miner rules..........but I can't see myself playing it today......too spoiled with the new stuff. Heck, I just sold my N64 to buy a dreamcast when they went to $50....and I also have an xbox.
I once tried a coleco emulator, and was like.....ugh......hehe.....though the super nes emulator that I have on the DC is quite cool.

Damn those Hot Dogs!

I found a copy of BurgerTime and have been playing that again. It is so unfair that the hot dogs, pickles, and eggs can move faster than my little waddling chef. Ugghh!

Does anyone know if you need different controllers for Expansion Module #1? I've seen some auctions for this that "include Atari controllers". I never had it the first time around, but was thinking about trying to pick one up now. I was just trying to figure out if I would need to search out some different controllers too.

I got a Coleco Emulator for the DC yesterday. It rocks. I never had a Coleco (Atari was my system), but I sure had a lot of fun playing for hours last night.
