The ColecoVision brought genuinely arcade-faithful conversions home in 1982 โ its pack-in Donkey Kong was far closer to the arcade than the Atari version. Killed by the 1983 crash after barely two years.
Full-speed on all R36 models. Requires the ColecoVision BIOS to boot, and many games expect the numeric keypad to be mapped to buttons.
The chip is the same in every model, so the rating is too. What differs is the screen: 4:3 panels suit most home consoles, the 1:1 square panel suits Game Boy and GBA and shows 4:3 games with bars.
The R36 handheld family runs ColecoVision titles with perfect compatibility out of the box.
