Indeed I have. Clearly Atari is better.

In 1982, while Atari and Mattel were busy trashing each other's products, Coleco released the superior ColecoVision with Donkey Kong as the pack-in. It was an immediate success. After untangling itself from a few legal snags (Coleco and Nintendo were threatened with lawsuits from Universal Studios who claimed Donkey Kong was an infringement on King Kong), Coleco sold out its first one million systems almost immediately. By 1983 the ColecoVision was beating out both Atari and Mattel in sales.

The ColecoVision not only had better graphics and sound than its competitors, but it also had more expandability. Accessories included a steering wheel (with gas pedal) and a 2600 adapter that let you play Atari 2600 games on your ColecoVision. Atari sued Coleco over the adapter, but Coleco won (later, Coleco sold its own standalone 2600 clone, the Gemini). Most Coleco games were solid arcade ports, usually almost indistinguishable from the real thing, and ColecoVision quickly became the hardcore videogamers' system of choice.

Atari had that awesome joystick, and that cool other control for pong. I mean it had pong, atari totally owns you.

Colecovision had a steering wheel controller (which we never had but I want to get someday), and a roller ball controller that RULED (but ours broke years ago :crying:

).

Plus, the regular controllers look like PHONES!!!

You can't beat that. :happyno:
