ColecoVision thread, because it's better than all the other systems represented by these homosexual threads.

Colecovision and you don't mention Smurfs? Watching my brothers play that game is my earliest memory in life. (seriously)

but Intellivision was the shit back then....the voice synth add-on + Bomber B-52 owned all until the genesis

ColecoVision had the original spyhunter which back in the day was an AWESOME game. I never had the system but went over my friends house to play it all the time.

Funny story:
First system I got was Nintendo in 1986 for my 10th birthday even though I asked for an Atari 3600. All my friends had Atari's or ColecoVision. I opened the wrapping and it said Nintendo and I was like WTF is this shit. It was like one of the first months that Nintendo was released in the US and I had no clue what it was since nobody I knew had it yet. Once I started to play Super Mario Bros I was so happy I didn't get an Atari. Mad props to the guy at Toys R Us that told my mom to buy a Nintendo and not an Atari.

Selling an Atari console to someone in 86 would have been pretty cruel.

God I loved that game, and 2 players Snafu.

I think those were both intellivision though,not sure, I had an Intellivision and most of my friends had Coleco's and I can't recall what I played those games on.

PS- Q-Bert can fuck itself,that is the worst fucking game ever,nostalgia be damned.

That Smurf game, can't remember exact title. Was a good side-scroller with some tough jumps in the later levels.

**just looked up and noticed Smocca mentioned it too. He knows what's up, Smurfs was awesome game.**
