THE LEGENDSColecoVision & ADAM Legends Past and PresentOver the years, a multitude of passionate individuals and pioneers have emerged within the CV/ADAM Community. They uncovered their enthusiasm for a remarkable home video game console that was launched in North America in August 1982, followed by its introduction in Europe a year later, under the name CBS ColecoVision, presented by CBS Electronics. The ColecoVision, along with its companion home computer, the Coleco Adam (1983), played a vital role in the second generation of video game consoles and home computers. These LEGENDS have ensured the longevity of both systems by creating new games, hardware, and software. With a history spanning over 40 years, many memories, individuals, and remarkable achievements risk being forgotten. In this space, we aim to acknowledge the contributions of these individuals to the ColecoVision ADAM community.
