ColecoVision vs Commodore 64! Both arrived in 1982, but which system had the better versions of the same games?
This Friday Night Live, we're starting at the beginning of the alphabet and working our way through games that were released on BOTH systems. We'll play each version on real hardware, compare them side-by-side, and YOU decide the winner!
🟦 C = Commodore 64
🟥 A = ColecoVision
🟨 T = Tie
We'll keep going as far as we can, and wherever we stop, we'll pick it back up on a future ColecoVision vs C64 night.
I've also got my new Atarimax Ultimate SD ColecoVision cartridge, so we're opening up a LOT more of the ColecoVision library!
Which system will come out ahead?

👇 ABOUT FLOPPY DEEP DIVE 👇
Hey, it’s Tom from Texas. I run the machines we grew up with.
No emulators. No shortcuts. Just real hardware powered on the way it was meant to be. The click of keyboards, the whir of floppy drives, and the glow of a CRT hitting you right in the nostalgia.
If you remember swapping disks, waiting for games to load, or hearing a startup sound that instantly took you somewhere else, you’re in the right place.
Here you’ll find:
🕹️ Real hardware gameplay across C64, Atari, DOS PCs, consoles, and more
⚔️ Head-to-head comparisons including C64 vs Atari and C64 vs NES
💾 Deep dives into forgotten games and mystery floppies
🔥 Classic publisher showdowns featuring companies like DataSoft and Synapse
