The ColecoVision really did deserve better. Born into the North American video games crash it got off to a blinding start before events caught up with it and it was quickly retired. But this console deserves a 2nd look. The quality of the arcade ports and its add on capabilities mean that this really should be remembered as one of the best of its era, and this example needs some TLC to restore it to its former glory so we can try it out.
