Notes

The Canadian issue of the module that let a ColecoVision play Atari 2600 cartridges, and the product Atari sued Coleco over in 1982. The two companies settled out of court, Coleco taking a licence to Atari's patents after counterclaiming for $500 million on antitrust grounds.

The Canadian issue

  • Bilingual English and French packaging and documentation, as Canadian law required.
  • A distinct Canadian issue exists for several ColecoVision items in this catalogue.

WHAT DIFFERS INSIDE THE CARTON, if anything, is not established here. Treat the module as identical to the US one until the box and manuals are compared.
