The joysticks were better than the 5200’s, the keypad and buttons better than Intellivision. Although it had lesser known B-list titles, there were some excellent games. The load screen was annoyingly long — apparently in an attempt to get the ColecoVision name permanently embedded in young and impressionable minds.
