Notes

A printable reproduction of the ColecoVision cartridge shell as Coleco sold it in North America.

Why it is needed

  • Homebrew ColecoVision games are still being published, and each one needs a case. The alternative is gutting original cartridges, which destroys old stock to make new titles.
  • Printing shells means a new game can be a new object rather than a cannibalised one.

What it goes with

  • The cartridge boards catalogued here - Harvey deKleine's homebrew PCBs and the MegaCart boards for larger ROMs - which need somewhere to live.

The European CBS-style shell is catalogued alongside this one; the two differ because CBS distributed the console outside North America under its own presentation.
