    Thanks for the laugh Joe... Nice to see someone that doesn't take the other guys too seriosly...

    I think Colecovision might have one more card up their sleeve if they plan a major release on the PS3 launch day just as Microsoft is doing with their planned release of the new religous title, an odd step for such a mature console, Halo 3. This might backfire in their face with the the growing demand of violent first person shooters. Another noah's ark 3d perhaps?

    Yeah, I know Colecovision's gonna die, but I know it more than any of you because I'm smarter than any of you. No music? No movies? No internet? What exactly are we supposed to do with this thing anyway? Face it, Coleco is DEAD. They've never been more DEAD in their lives, and they're so DEAD they're not coming back. Even if they release the greatest system next generation, nobody will buy it because it will be terrible and Coleco will DIE. If you disagree with me, its because your an idiot and I'm t3h R0X0R.

    Joe, I love your posts. So why do you come across as such a belligerant buffoon in person?

    Must... Mix... Compliments... With inaccurate insults. Followed by retraction.

    This could just be the best post of the day

    Unfortunately, I agree. The Colecovision is just a wee bit too underpowered right now. I mean, unless Colecovision suddenly comes out with the Palm OS, I'm writing the ADAM off too.

    Apparently somebody hasn't heard about Coleco's new killerp app they are releasing ... Super Duper Ultra Mega-Awesomenerer. It does everything the PS2 and Xbox can do ... only awesomenerer

    Sorry goatdan no Palm Os though.

    Yeah, but consoles aren't the only important market out there. Have you seen Coleco's handheld technology lately?



    See? Right there: "ALL THE ACTION OF A REAL FOOTBALL GAME!" Let's see PSP compete with that.

    The Colecovision isn't dead. I can't understand where all this hatred for the Colecovision comes from. Good games are good games, no matter what, and will be played.

    Gamers don't want powerful graphics, better resolution, and high tech stuff like the NES and Genesis and PS2 deliver. They want innovative games, short games, fun games, simple games they can pick up in five minutes and play for 30 minutes; the president of Coleco said so himself....gimme a break with these long and complex Zelda and Metroid stuff, God of War is doomed, not the Colecovision.

    Colecovision will find a niche, and will survive, it is a cash cow. It is for the true gamer who doesn't care about shallow stuff like graphics, but cares about if games look good.

    ...and after all, the Colecovision has a soul, a SOUL I'm tellin' ya, show me the soul of the Xbox...then we'll talk.

    What's with this newfangled Coleco stuff?

    Who needs ICs when you have all kinds of fun resistors and capacitors right there in the Magnavox Odyssey.... (and not that awful one that uses those vulgar, unchristian, "joystick controllers". I know better than to fall for such euphemisms.

    Forget HDTV. Real games play just fine on oscilloscopes.

    And if the Odyssey (which only works on a newfangled Magnavocks how do you say, "tereveedeo" by necessity...) breaks, just imagine all the fun you can have building circuits and testin them with yer scope.

    Solid state. Heh... Squalid state.

    And don't be taken in by vect her graphics. No self respecting girl would ever allow herself to be vected. It's the height of depravity. Says so raight hea in da book o Dumbferotomies.

    Damn kids with their spirographs and rock em' sock em robots! The road to hell is paved with fancy-pants plastic tinkertoys. Wood is good dammit!!

    show me the soul of the Xbox...then we'll talk.
    I would, but then the men in white coats would show up....
    Some things are best not seen by mortals.

    Everyone knows that the Xbox is but a tool of the elder gods dude.... I shouldn't have told you that......

    Bleeeeurgh... Sploosh.... Queeeee..... Shplat!

    Don't listen to DP, he's just trying to practice "The Art of Trolling".

    I mean, how could Coleco ever go wrong? They have Donkey Kong, for chrissakes!!! Try to find DK on the PS2 or the Xbox, you won't!!!!

    And does Sony or Microsoft sell you those cool Cabbage Patch Kid dolls (they're all different! try to see how many you can collect!) or that cute green Turtle wading pool? Didn't think so!!!

    I'm sure we'll talk about Coleco long after Sony and Microsoft are gone.

    *takes some of what everyone else is taking* Nothing happens.

    *takes some MORE* There we go...it's all clear to me.

    What the Colecovision needs to stay competitive with the other consoles is to come up with an attachment to hook up their handheld games to the console itself and play head to head to head to head with other people on the television.

    Either that or it needs to come out with new colors...like Nuclear Green and Atomic Purple.

    This thread is awesome??? It is awful, you're a dumbass (don't take it personal, just my honest opinion)

    Stop this thread now, end it PLEASE! Don't you people have nothing else to discuss? Where are those DP moderators when you need them? Lock it, I can't take it anymore.

    Where is the guy who runs this place anyhoo? Does he even care that threads like these are BAD for games and the world in general? (George Bush doesn't care either, and look where it got us!!!! In Iraq they're selling now Xboxes and corrupt longstanding identities, that's the prob, not the Colecovision)

    Every week, EVERY week, I have to read a 'Colecovision is doomed' thread. Tell you what, this topic is dead, not the Colecovision!!!!!!!!!!! (!!!)

    Here are my two dimes about the topic I don't wanna know about and there is nothing to discuss:

    Nomen est omen! The Colecovision has just that: a VISION! It will revolutionize gaming as we know it, just be patient, wait a couple of minutes, and those allegedly simple sprites will take over the world and leave evil companies in the dust. Colecovision cares about gamers, others care about money. (just picked up a cartridge in a thrift dirtcheap, saved me a lot of money)

    SPRITES AND INNOVATION FOREVER! POLYGONS AND SMASH HITS ARE FOR KIDS!

    Not to call anyone stupid or anything BUT....if you look at the first post of this thread "those DP moderators" STARTED this thread.

    That is all.

    End Transmission. (Oh, All Your Base Are Belong To Us.)
