Mini ColecoVision hits eBay, finds a special place in our hearts
Call us biased, but we still prefer Ben Heckendorn's portable ColecoVision over this one, but that's not to say we don't deeply respect the immense amount of work that went into the mini ColecoVision. The seller of the unit stripped a ColecoVision PCB from an original casing and got to modding; when all was said and done, the miniaturized version still operated fine and required a lot less floor space. 'Tis a shame the bidding just ended -- now you're stuck with Atarimax's oh-so-similar (but not nearly as satisfying) MulitCart as you embarrassingly attempt to relive the past.

I think it's awesome that he got rid of that 10-12 second Coleco opening title screen before you can launch a Coleco published game. I used to hate that. At least today's game consoles you don't have to wait for any kind of.....oh wait...nevermind.

My first console! 23 years ago or so? gee. I bought my favorite game for it a few years ago, but still don't have the console.

As cool as the blue LED is, it's a bit too new-school mod for a retro console. I would've gone with the old standard red. Other than that, amazing freakin' job!
