Colceo Gemini- 1982

Telstar (company who makes the colecos) return to the video g@me market was a gamble. They had been developing the machine , but with the introduction of more and more cartridge machines they were forced to dump over a million of there machines- losing well in excess of over $20 million.

The machine itself, was an exact copy of the Atari 2600 (as Atari hadnt patented ther parts and copy-righted there prgrammes they couldnt do anything about it.) The only slight differences to the machine were the the look and coleco had combined both Atari controllers.

The machine was sold for slightly less than the 2600, hoping to bring in buyers that way- retailing at under $199.95USD.
