ColecoVision from the Past

[as i type this, it is August 17, so i'm catching up and posting the photos of the day, as i took photos each day, but didn't upload them until now]

A trip to Charlotte, NC for business ended up going fairly well. On the way back, I stopped in Shelby, NC and found a shop with this old 8-bit video game system – a ColecoVision! I never owned one [i had the IntelliVision by Mattel and a friend of mine had the Atari 2600], but I did have a friend who did so I’d sometimes play games on his. Of the 3 systems, the graphics on the ColecoVision were the best, but it was also the highest price of the 3 too!

I didn’t end up buying it, as I have no games for it, but it reminded me that on a cold winter day it would be nice to get my old IntelliVision II out and play some MLB Baseball or some RiverRaid!
