Notes

An SNK Neo Geo controller adapted for the ColecoVision, with a keypad added so nothing is lost.

Why the keypad

  • The Neo Geo's stick is a heavy microswitched arcade unit, which is exactly right for a console whose library is arcade conversions.
  • What it does not have is a numeric keypad, and ColecoVision games take their skill level and options from one - so a stick without it can start a game but not choose how to play it.

Grips03's work on ColecoVision controllers, including an arcade controller of his own and the mini adapter boards catalogued here, was shared through the AtariAge forums.
