Back in the summer of '82, a new wave of video games hit the home market. The Colecovision burst onto the scene, outselling both the Atari 2600 and the Intellivision. Dubbed the "third-generation" console system (Atari 2600 and Intellivision were first and second), the Colecovision scored a major coup when it convinced Nintendo to license Donkey Kong as the pack-in title.
With hardware that dedicated more memory to graphics than any other machine on the market, the Colecovision quickly climbed the charts and was the best selling console system in 1983. Except for the Atari 2600, the Colecovision had more games than any other system. On top of that, Coleco released an Atari adapter that allowed you to play all Atari 2600 games. Not that the Colecovision needed those games. With classics such as Smurf Rescue, Looping, and Spy Hunter, the Colecovision will always have a place in the gaming lexicon. Have fun!
Virtual Colecovision is bar-none the best Windows Colecovision emulator. It runs a vast majority of ColecoVision games with full sound.

The below sites are where you can download ROMs of your favorite Colecovision games.
Note: Due to copyright laws, it is illegal to download a ROM of any game that you do not own, unless you delete it within 24 hours. These laws also make it difficult to keep up with functioning ROM sites and often these sites are not available. Game Revolution does not host any ROM images on our site, nor does Game Revolution endorse piracy.
