Box Art Wedneday.




Click on the pics to make 'em Atari 2600 sized!
Check out that awesome Berenstain Bears game, you hooked up a tape player to the console to hear the voices. Speaking of consoles...I'm not sure if that is a 2600...maybe on of your dear readers can clear up this mystery?

It's a Coleco Gemini. It's Coleco's clone of the 2600 - which they went to court to be able to produce. The Gemini name was a not-so-subtle "fuck you" to Atari by calling it a twin.
Coleco was mainly known for having much better ports of popular arcade titles, (Pac-Man, anyone?) but couldn't overcome the marketing juggernaut that was Atari.

Way to go, Hamm! Would I be correct in that you have owned one of these consoles?

Nope. My neighbor did, though... Didn't everyone have a neighbor kid who seemed to have EVERYthing cool that you didn't?
