This ad for Colecovision brought back a flood of memories for me.The Colecovision was my very first video game system. I got one for Christmas in 1982, from a department store called Caldor’s. The only way I was able to convince my parents to buy one was the fact that the Colecovision could be upgraded to a computer (the Coleco Adam).

The Colecovision was a great gaming system for its day. If only the video game crash of 1984 didn’t happen. Coleco may have been able to continue on to compete with Nintendo… I guess we’ll never know…

The fact that the Colecovision could be expanded upon with additional modules (a driving module, an Atari 2600 module, and a computer module) made it a very unique system.

I still have my Colecovision. Looking for more tidbits on the Colecovision? Check out the video below:

I’m planning to sell my Wacom Intuos3 tablet with pen in order to upgrade to the newest model, the Intuos4. The Intuos3 works great. The back of the tablet has my name on it, but is otherwise in excellent condition. If you’re interested in it, please contact me. I will also be including some original artwork (both pencil and ink) as added incentive to the person who ends up purchasing the tablet from me.

What you get:

1. the tablet ( Intuos3 6 x 8 ) USB (works on Macs and PCs)
2. cordless stylus with felt nib
3. stylus holder
4. PCW (or UNcubed) artwork!

Update: Tablet is sold!

If you don’t need a tablet, but would like to help me purchase one – you have several options:

1) Sign up for the PC Weenies Guest-Star service.

2) Buy a PC Weenies print. Only $10 plus shipping.

3) Hire me to create you a logo / avatar / custom album art.

4) Make a donation (via Paypal) of your choice via the button below. Donations above $10 will net you a pencil sketch of the character of your choice. Donations above $20 will net you an inked drawing (featuring two PCW characters of your choice).

Thanks a bunch!
