About Colecovision Addict

Where to start? Back in 2000, I got the bright idea to build a site called XboxAddict.com (It's closed now). It quickly became one of the top Xbox fan sites in the world, and I got to know the ins and outs of the modern gaming industry. Although I still love everything Xbox, in May of 2015 I decided to walk away from the site after 15 years.

I've always had a "never-say-die" love for my first gaming console — the ColecoVision. I have many fond memories of it, though sadly I don't have any photos of my brother and me playing it together.

So why did I build this site? Pure frustration. Whenever I tried to find general information on the classic machine, it was scattered across too many different places and difficult to piece together. As a graphic designer and web developer, I thought — why not fix that? And so, ColecoVisionAddict.com was born. Original, right?

Putting this site together has been — and continues to be — a lot of work. From restoring cracked, thirty-year-old box art, to compiling data from various programmers, publishers, and forums like AtariAge, to downloading screenshots from multiple sources or generating my own. It's been a labor of love.

I also wanted the site to be fully accessible on smartphones — ambitious, I know. And just to set expectations: you won't find Atari, Odyssey, Fairchild Channel F, or ADAM content here. This is strictly ColecoVision. Sorry, folks.

Ultimately, my goal is to help others discover and promote new homebrew ColecoVision games, and to bring all of that information together in one place — for newcomers and veterans alike. Stay tuned for more features coming to the site.
