I feel like collecting for the Atari 2600 and while I have other systems like the Sega Genesis, I would like to have your input on what system you think goes well with it...maybe the Intellivision or Colecovision due to being within the same era as the woodgrain or black bread box?

I’d go for the ColecoVision. The controller on the intellevision is strange, as are the graphics. Maybe that’s your thing, but as a kid I always wanted the coleco. Especially if you can find the racing controller for Turbo.

If I were to get an Intellivision, I’d spring for the Intellevision II model. Much cooler looking design and takes up less space. The only problem is if you get the speech module, finding one to match the later design language is harder.

I had a ColecoVision with the Atari 2600 adapter. Yes, they made an adapter for it.

The Colecovision is basically the Intellivisions cooler cousin.
