Do you remember ColecoVision?  If you do, you're probably at least 28 years old... it debuted in 1982, and took the video game market by storm, with its pre-packaged mega-hit, Donkey Kong.  Everyone had to have one!  Those of you who grew up on X-Box and Playstation have to understand, the games that were available on home video at the time, were only a few steps up from Pong, in terms of graphic quality.  Coleco brought the most faithful versions of arcade games to the home, and sold well for several years.  Unfortunately, the company proved extremely slow at getting new games cranked out, and the ones they did manufacture were not exactly the biggest hits in American arcades... (Victory, Subroc, Cosmic Avenger, Space Fury, Space Panic, and LadyBug come to mind immediately).  By 1987, only Atari continued to sell home video games, though it would soon face overwhelming competition from Nintendo and Sega.

A few years back, Marat Fayzullin created a wonderful ColecoVision emulator, ColEm... the file I uploaded to my web site was created by Neal Danner in 1997, using VDP emulation based on Fayzullin's original program.  You need only to save the file and it should run just fine.  I've also included a few of the game titles that work best with the program.  Save them to the same directory as the main file, for simplicity's sake...

Arrow keys generally suffice for movement.  Fire buttons are the spacebar and the Tab key (ColecoVision had a joystick with two buttons with separate functions in most cases).
