ColecoVision Discovery (Many Lab games!)

[Shantai]

Recently our Pool team took 1st place in the Divisionals, and our team captain invited us to his place for a Team Victory Party.

So before we left, he reminded me that he has a LARGE collection of ColecoVision stuff from when he WORKED for Coleco to give me.

When I got home and looked over all the carts, I noticed Many with White labels (Just the name of the game on them)
I have been trying to get info on eBay and other various sources on these "Lab" or "Loaner" carts.

Aside from the Lab/Loaner carts there are alot of various games like Frogger2, Choplifter, Smurf KID VID w/3 cassettes, Montesuma's Revenge and a Complete Kid Vid Berenstain Bears kit in the collection too :)
Along with an Adam Computer w/ tons of Cassette Tapes (All Pre-Printed ones)

I have yet to play these games to see if they have the Prototype game stats (Missing levels, etc...)

Here's a List of the Lab/loaner Carts in the collection:

PUZZLER 3 (I never seen this one listed ANYWHERE)

Antarctic Adventure
Brain Strainers
Buck Rogers
Bump and Jump
Burger Time
Cabbage Patch Kids
Destructor
STAR TREK
War Games
Wing War (Imagic case)

Rock & Rope (Atari 2600)

The carts BELOW have a Printed label without the name of game on top and NO
Copyright Info on front:

2010 (Has info, but there's a white label underneath)
Fortune Builders
ADAM DIAGNOSTIC CARTRIDGE

Anyway, I've enjoyed DP since 1993 and I Figured you guys would know
more about Games than anyone else ;)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am sure it would be easier to help if you post some pics.

the 'white labeled' games may be lab loaners, or they may be telegames reissues. i can tell easily if you post pictures.

adam diagnostic cartridge is awesome. that rules.

puzzler 3? that sounds awesome.


you know whats weird though, some ex coleco employees that worked there during the ADAM days burned carts like crazy from ADAM programs. ive seen several of these, and have a Video Hustler from an ex employee that is burned off the adam version.


please post some pics of these things- if possible, please take pics of the circuit boards themselves.

if you ever want to part with these, please let me know

well thats no help, try another picture hosting service. i'm curious to see this stuff too. i think it was fairly common in the industry to "burn" games for home use, things were much more casual back then. i've seen lots of atari 2600 games from classic era employess but not any from coleco. just curious, are you from CT, the coleco HQ state?

Yah.. would love to see pictures. You should get someone to dump the ROMS.
