The ColecoVision came with the game Nintendo's Donkey Kong as a pack-in game and is revered as a near-perfect arcade port. This increased the popularity of the ColecoVision and by the end of 1982 the ColecoVision had sold 500,000 units.

Outside of the United States, the ColecoVision is known as the CBS ColecoVision as it was distributed by CBS Electronics.
The ColecoVision was discontinued in 1994 due to the crash of the video game market in 1983.

-Expansion Module #1: This allowed the ColecoVision to play Atari 2600 games which largely expanded the ColecoVision game library.
-Expansion Module #2: This was a driving controller that came with the pack-in game Turbo. It was only compatible with two other games from the ColecoVision library: Destructor and Dukes of Hazzard.
-Expansion Module #3: The ColecoVision's third expansion turned it into a computer called the Coleco Adam. It came with a full keyboard and digital dat pack cassette drives.
The primary games of the ColecoVision library were arcade games that Atari had not yet liscensed. The most popular of the ColecoVision games were Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior, Carnival, Lady Bug, Mouse Trap, and Zaxxon.
