#RandomGameSaturday Wacky Word Games for the Coleco Adam. Picked it up decades ago at a thrift store, but have never played it because I only briefly had an Adam.

Sectaurs was one of those toylines I was fully prepared to get WAY into at the time…buuut no one else really did so I wasn’t allowed to.
Plus, they were on the expensive side relative to other figures.
Between Sectaurs and Rambo, though, Coleco had some folks who knew what they were doing.

The difference in sheer playability over prior consoles was huge. NES games felt responsive and controllable in a way that Atari, Coleco and Intellivision didn't.
Honorable mention to Sega... the SG-1000/Master System is also a fine system, but it didn't penetrate much here in the US.

Retailers, still wary after the collapse of Atari and Coleco, were hesitant. Nintendo offered a no-risk deal: stores only pay for sold units; unsold ones can be returned. The company even installs the displays and provides advertising materials.

Item: Donkey Kong (Atari 2600 Cartridge, by Coleco/Nintendo)
Release Year: 1982
Fun Fact: This version of Donkey Kong marked one of the earliest appearances of Mario on a home console — predating his Super Mario Bros. fame by several years.

We thought a Coleco Vision was the Pinnacle of entertainment back then.

I still have my Coleco Adam and will resort to running cassette tape programs for my amusement instead, thanks.

It all evolved from Atari & Coleco Vision to Facebook, X, watches, note books, laptops, 20 second attention spans and the inability for critical thought >>>

Oh that’s so dam cool~!!!
Love one of them but there rare over here in the UK, tho that said I do own quite a few rare things myself.
Such as a factory test Coleco QuizWiz (note the blue inside of the binder that’s normally black).
[ last pic compares my factory test unit to the retail release. ]

There were so many competitors back then. I remember the Odyssey, Intellivision, and Coleco Vision. I loved them all. 😆

I also had an Atari 2600 but I don’t remember which I bought first.

New blog post! I got a FujiNet adapter for my Coleco Adam. Then I immediately dropped my homemade power supply on the ground and broke it. Will it ever net the Fujis again? www.leadedsolder.com/2025/10/07/c... #coleco #retrocomputing #kicad
Power Surprise with the ADAM
After dropping my homemade power supply for the Coleco ADAM home computer and breaking it, I had to make a new one so I could test the FujiNet network adapter.
