[Coladam] how low the "new" COLECO has fallen...

[Guy Foster]

I bought the system last year for about $25 or so CDN
and managed to sell it a few weeks ago at a garage
sale for $5.  Guess I did well to sell it.  I
basically bought it, plugged it in, played it for
about 180 seconds and said to myself: "SUCKS!  I don't
even see the connection between Coleco and the games
in there".

Now if they came out with a Colecovision on a chip and
had a few of teh classic games, that would be
something altogether different.  But selling crap
games and trying to associate them with the Coleco
brand name is just lame.
