The Colecovision was an 8-bit cartridge-based gaming platform. It sported superior sound and graphics capabilities for its time along with an unprecedented wave of quality software.

Mugrat is a Colecovision emulator coded for Mac OS X by Richard Bannister. Despite the multitude of emulators Richard has ported to the Mac, this is the first emulator he has designed and written solo.

ColEm is a very accurate Colecovision emulator. It supports the Appearance Manager, Navigation Services, GZed ROMs, TV Mode, InputSprocket and NetPlay. It also sports great speed and compatibility.
An interesting note is that the Colecovision was actually a reduced version of the MSX computer. Coincidentally, this led to many Colecovision games that ended up being knockoffs of an equivalent MSX title, like the MSX's "Athletic Land" and Coleco's "Cabbage Patch Kids: Adventures in the Park." Also, there is a Colecovision emulator available which works with fMSX.

Virtual Colecovision is a Java-based port of Marat's ColEm emulator by Neal Danner. Neal has since updated much of the codebase with his own refined versions of various routines. The Java version of VColeco supports activation both as a Java Application and a Java Applet.
Features:
* Full Emulation of the ColecoVision Hardware (Z80CPU, Hand Controllers, Sound Chip).
* Dynamic Speed Control Settings.
* Written in 100% pure Java so you can run it on any platform supporting the Java Virtual Machine (VM).
Limitations:
* No native Sound support (yet).
* No native Joystick support.
* No custom keyboard mappings (yet).
* Windowed-only.
* Java VM must contain a Just-In-Time compiler or be run on a 500Mhz+ processor to be playable.

This version is several years old, and hasn't been updated since Marat's original release. It doesn't support sound and many games work improperly. The authors of ColEmMac have stopped supporting this application; it is included for completeness.
