Well done!!!. Congratulations I love the video. Great Coleco review. No tedious, time video exact, excellent script, loving Donkey Kong Junior Coleco case image (IŽd never seen before)...but...no Ms PacMan score...
Waiting new episodes from you.
Thanks!!!!! |

Great reviews! (I like the Vectrex hanging out on the bar too...)
Technically, Zaxxon uses a transparent mirror for the 3-D effect:

but I won't penalize you for that.
BTW- Dibs on the 10 points for the Seinfeld reference! One of my favorite episodes!

Excellent work! Very good reviews with great picture quality and sound. I look forward to seeing more .
I was surprised by one thing though....I have collected vintage handheld games for about 4 years now and have quite a few Coleco's, but in that time I've never actually 'spoken' to another collector. I have always pronounced the name with a soft 'e' as in 'egg' not the hard 'e' like in 'easy' as in the review . Have I been saying it wrong all this time to my family and friends or do some other people say the name as I do?
Thanks,
Neil. |

Heh, yeah, technically you've been saying it wrong. If you look at their logo here:
http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Coleco/index.html
You will see the line over the 'E'. That indicates the 'long E' pronunciation (like in easy).
Tomy is another company that usually mis-pronounced (even by me). It's also a long 'O' (it's a Japanese company, so it's pronounced differently than you would normally say the person's name 'Tommy'). It's sort of like 'Toe Me'.

I loved it all. I really liked the comment about the girl in school having one.
Girls played/play video games.
Will definitely stay tuned for more episodes. Maybe this is what will help this hobby take off.
