PUBLISHER

Activision

Crane, Miller, and Whitehead left Atari and founded Activision in October 1979 with former music industry executive Jim Levy and venture capitalist Richard Muchmore; Kaplan soon joined the company.

Activision converted their most popular games from the Atari 2600 to the Colecovision. A total of 8 games have been released.

Beamrider, Decathlon, H.E.R.O., Keystone Kapers, Pitfall, Pitfall II : Lost Caverns, River Raid, Zenji

Atarisoft

Atarisoft was a brand name used by Atari, Inc in 1983 and 1984 to market video games they published for home systems made by their competitors. Each platform had a specific color attributed by Atarisoft for its game packages. For example, video games sold for the Colecovision came up in orange packages, games for the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A in yellow, games for the IBM PC in blue, and so on. Despite being in existence for less than two years, Atarisoft had a huge video game library with dozens of game versions being released for various home computers and consoles. Almost all of the Atarisoft titles were produced by third-party software companies, as Atari only developed for their own systems.

The Atarisoft label did not bear Atari's popular "fuji" logo, and the name was written in a different typeface (popularly called "Futuri Extra Bold [non-italic]") to the normal "Atari" lettering. Atarisoft was a brand mainly used on game boxes and manuals; the name that appeared on the title screen of these games was generally that of Atari, not Atarisoft.

Centipede, Defender, Galaxian, Jungle Hunt
Never released: Dig Dug, Joust, Moon Patrol, Ms Pac Man, Pac-Man

PUBLISHER

CBS

CBS entered the video game market briefly, through its acquisition of Gabriel Toys (renamed CBS Toys), publishing several arcade adaptations and original titles under the name "CBS Electronics", for the Atari 2600, and other consoles and computers, also producing one of the first karaoke recording/players.

CBS Electronics also distributed all Coleco-related video game products outside of North America, including the ColecoVision. CBS later sold Gabriel Toys to View-Master, which eventually ended up as part of Mattel.

PUBLISHER

Coleco

Coleco is an American company founded in 1932 by Maurice Greenberg as "Connecticut Leather Company". It became a highly successful toy company in the 1980s, known for its mass-produced version of Cabbage Patch Kids dolls and its video game consoles, the Coleco Telstar and ColecoVision.

Under CEO Arnold Greenberg, the company entered the video game console business with the Telstar in 1976.

When the video game business began to implode in 1983, it seemed clear that video game consoles were being supplanted by home computers. Coleco's strategy was to introduce the Coleco Adam home computer, both as a stand-alone system and as an expansion module to the ColecoVision. This effort failed, in large part because Adams were often unreliable. The Adam flopped; Coleco withdrew from electronics early in 1985.

The Coleco company published over 50 games for their Colecovision system. Unfortunately, the catalogue showed many games that were never released.

2010 the Graphic Action Game, BC's Quest for Tires II : Grog's Revenge, Brain Strainers, Antarctic Adventure, Buck Rogers, Bump'n Jump, Burger Time, Cabbage Patch Kids, Cabbage Patch Kids : Picture Show, Carnival, Choplifter!, Congo Bongo, Cosmic Avenger, Dam Busters, Destructor, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Dr. Seuss : Fix-up the Mix-up Puzzler, Dukes of Hazzard, Fortune Builder, Frenzy, Front Line, Gorf, Illusions, Ken Uston BlackJack/Poker, LadyBug, Looping, Monkey Academy, Mouse Trap, Mr. Do!, Omega Race, Pepper II, Rocky, Roc'n Rope, Slither, Smurf, Smurf Paint, Spy Hunter, Star Trek, Space Fury, Space Panic, Subroc, Super Action Baseball, Super Action Football, Tapper, Tarzan, Telly Turtle, Time Pilot, Turbo, Venture, Victory, Wargames, Zaxxon

Imagic was similar to Activision in many ways; they used a distinctive and easily recognizable style of cartridge housing (which included the company name embossed in the plastic), offered patches to players who sent in proof of a high score, and were renowned for featuring a high standard of audiovisual design in their games.

Opcode

Eduardo Mello (aka opcode) created Opcode Games in 2003 (formerly Coin-Op Games). He developed many games for the Colecovision. A lot of them are ports of Sega SG-1000 titles.

Some of Opcode’s games were sold as prototypes on eBay as Eduardo judged that they were not good enough to be published at a "large" scale (Exerion, Galaga, Comic Bakery). Several Opcode’s games were published by Team Pixelboy and Collectorvision.

Opcode developed the Super Game Module which is an extension that enhances the Colecovision console and that is used to play specific SGM games.

Parker Brothers

Parker Brothers is an American toy and game manufacturer and brand. Since 1883, the company has published more than 1,800 games. Parker Brothers is currently a subsidiary of Hasbro.

Parker Brothers produced video games for various systems during the early 1980s, with home ports of many popular arcade games like Sega's Frogger and Gottlieb's Q*Bert.

Norman Sippel in the FAQ says : There are two boxes used by Parker Bros. One is the typical "boxed" game with two box parts that open up to reveal the game and instructions. The other is a clone of the standard Coleco box with Parker Bros. written on it instead.
Parker Bros. used the same serial numbers for their games around the world with one exception--for foreign release, a "A" was added to the serial number of the game.

Adrenalin Entertainment / Western Technologies

Adrenalin Entertainment was, for much of the 1990s, the name of Western Technologies, Inc.'s software division. Started in 1978 and headed by Jay Smith, Western also designed and developed electronic toys and consumer electronics products. Video game hardware designed by Western includes the Vectrex game system, the Menacer gun for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, and the SegaDev board used for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis development.
In February 1997, Western and certain assets and liabilities of Jay Smith's sole proprietorship Smith Engineering were acquired by Wanderlust Interactive, Inc. Wanderlust was renamed Adrenalin Interactive, Inc. on May 14, 1998. In December 1999, Adrenalin Interactive acquired McGlen Micro, Inc. through a reverse merger, forming McGlen Internet Group, Inc. Western's operations were discontinued soon after.

Western operated a Florida office that was involved in the development of video games and robotic toys and moved into industrial automation after the so-called "Video Game Crash." Through a buyout by employees and a real estate developer, it broke off and became Western Technologies Automation in 1985.
Pacific Softscape and Sennari were started by former employees.

Nice Ideas

Based in le parc international d'activités de Valbonne Sophia Antipolis, a technology park near the south coast of France, Nice Ideas was originally started in February 1983 as Mattel Electronics' French office, established to develop Intellivision and Colecovision games that would appeal to European sensibilities. Half the programmers were recruited in London, the other in Paris.
Mattel was unable to shut down the French office as it had the rest of Mattel Electronics due to French labor laws and economic incentives taken advantage of to move into Valbonne Sophia Antipolis. Director Tim Scanlon eventually found investors so the division could become independent. Renamed Nice Ideas, the company stayed in business a couple more years.
