Colecovision |

| Owners of this beast may
have remembered all of the strange controllers and gadgets that were available.
Some included the sports trackball controller among others. The controller for the colecovision was a chore to use. Not only were there two buttons and a little joystick, there was a complete numerical pad, much like the one on a touch-tone telephone. What's even better is that certain games had a little number pad overlay for special control options. For instance, a flying game might have had a landing gear button or a flare button. Needless to say these often got lost, bent and who knows what else happened to them in the process of playing. The game featured a decent amount of colors and cool graphics. There were plenty of games out for the Colecovision. My favorite was Smurf. |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- No-one has ever mentioned the Rocky cart for the Coleco. I have got the game and the controllers shaped like boxing gloves. Does anyone else have this? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- They also had a steering wheel for race car games and a baseball controller, a controller that had different color buttons on it and a roll pad to know what base to throw at. I will give you more information, I need to look at my system. I will write back soon. Dear webmaster the steering wheel control is called the expansion module 2 and it was not for play on the turbo game but on the destructor game sorry about the error. The baseball controllers were called super action controllers they were for play with Super Baseball. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
