I have never played Colecovision....
 
Funny. I agree with the "rich kid" assessment. A friend of mine (who's dad was a doctor) was the only one that had this console, so I could only play it when at his house. The whole concept of owning multiple consoles at the time was a completely foreign one (at least to my parents) so I had to stick with my 2600.

To this day, the CV is the one console I've always wanted but has always eluded me. The ebay consoles are either too expensive or are missing standard parts (or just don't work).

Good pick on DK. I remember that there were versions of DK for the 2600, Intellivision, and CV. But the CV was the only one that had ALL the boards from the arcade (including the pie factory level). CV was the first console imo to bring TRUE arcade-quality games to the home.

To add to the list:

1. Donkey Kong
2. Zaxxon
3. Venture
4. Donkey Kong Jr.
5. Time Pilot
 
Thank you for bringing some recognition to the CV...As an avid collector of the system (and yes, this was my 1st console,and no,we were NOT rich by any means) I have  greatly enjoyed this system 25 yrs later...I remember playing Smurf and getting mezmerized by the graphics back then (lol) and having my first panic attack at age 5 playing Space Panic watching my little onscreen dude turn blue from lack of oxygen :-(
To this day,out of 16+ systems that I own,it is the only one I can get my mom to play with me.Good times,man!
