Coleco does however have a lot of nice arcade ports that at the time couldn't be found elsewhere.

1977. I can't believe it's 30 this month.2600 came out in 1978
The Vectrex is definitely better for shooters but the ColecoVision is superior for platformers, maze chase games, and puzzle games. The Vectrex's mascot platformer (Spike) didn't compare to Donkey Kong.Originally Posted by Compass
The ColecoVision doesn't have much in terms of home exclusives, though, so that does add some appeal to the Vectrex. I can see why Frog would choose it. It may not have as much variety but it stands out as the most unique console of its day.

yeah, all the way back in post 25.
I was going to bump Neozeedeaters old coleco thread in order to remind some of the punters of it greatness, but sadly it's closed.
I think it heresy that ANY of his threads should be locked
Ahhh....VB, how you ruined my neck. But I still loved you.
I'd bought my VB at Blockbuster as well. The carrying case is super cool.
I'd bought all of the North American released titles, from Blockbuster, for around $3-$7 each. Every title was complete with boxes and manuals. I'd trade in Water World twice though and have never replaced the turd of a game.
I had a second VB (I'd also bought from BB), but I'd sold it earlier this year on TNL.
