Notes

A pair of ColecoVision hand controllers rebuilt and finished in Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior livery, from Viking Video Games' themed range of 2009.

What the range is

  • From 2008 Viking Video Games modified Coleco hand controllers for a more comfortable grip, starting with plain silver units.
  • Themed versions followed, matched to the arcade games that had ColecoVision ports - which is what these are.

Donkey Kong is the obvious first choice: it was the ColecoVision's pack-in game and the reason the console sold as it did. These are rebuilt originals rather than new controllers, so they carry Coleco's keypad and connector.
