Get out the soldering iron and solder. We're building a video game console. We're gonna build a ColecoVision.

In 1982, Coleco introduced the device to the North American market. The second-generation console was meant to get closer to arcade video games than the Atari 2600 and 5200. And so the ColecoVision was the first videogame console to bring Nintendo's Donkey Kong into domestic living rooms.

Between 1982 and 1984, about 140 games hit the market, but the console disappeared after Coleco withdrew from the console market in 1985.

However - A blogger named Leaded Solder hasn't let that stop him from relaunching the console in 2021. In a series of blogposts, we get to look over the colleague's shoulder. The start of the series can be found here at Part 1 and currently we have arrived at Part 4. 

Honestly, the blog is not a real guide with all the details on how to build the console. But following the author's journey is just fun. At least if you have an interest in hardware tinkering.

Have fun. And be careful with the soldering iron. 🚒
