What? No ColecoVision? My favorite console of all-time can't be ignored!

ColecoVision!

According to my Ken Uston video game book, these were the launch titles for the ColecoVision:

Donkey Kong (the pack-in)
Cosmic Avenger
Lady Bug
Venture
Smurf: Rescue In Gargamel's Castle

Wiki says there were 12 but I doubt it, Ken would have reviewed them in his book.

I think the Colecovision also had Space Fury, Zaxxon and Turbo at launch.

Yeah, Wiki lists those 3 games plus Mousetrap, Space Panic, Ken Uston's Poker & Blackjack and Carnival. I don't think Ken Uston was a launch game as I don't recall seeing a review of the game until mid-to-late 1983 in Electronic Fun.

correct me if im wrong but wasnt phantasy star 2 a us genny launch title? im probobly wrong. it may have been one of the many awesome games(revenge of shinobi) that came out shortly after launch around dec of 89, and man no wonder the saturn(one of my fave consoles) failed so misserably what a god awefull list of launch games, probobly the worst of all time. was virtua fighter 2 a launch title? or just the embarrasing port of virtua fighter? i know 2(which is awesome!) was a pack in game at one time.
