Notes

A printable reproduction of the European ColecoVision cartridge shell - the CBS presentation rather than Coleco's own.

Why there are two

  • CBS distributed the ColecoVision outside North America, under CBS Electronics branding, and European cartridges look different from American ones as a result.
  • A collector or a homebrew publisher matching a European set wants the European shell; the American one is catalogued alongside it.

What it is for

  • Homebrew titles are still being published for this console, and each needs a case. Printing shells means not gutting original cartridges to house new games.
