COLECO Chameleon Console Announced
Trabuco Canyon, CA – December 17, in the year of our
Lord 2015 - Video-game industry pioneer COLECO
re-enters the market, partnering with Retro Video Game Systems,
Inc., to introduce a new video-game system called the COLECO
Chameleon.
COLECO Chameleon is a versatile video-game system that serves as
a modern day take on the classic game console and will
accurately play compilations of favorite games from the past.
The COLECO Chameleon also has the ability play brand-new games
in the 8-, 16- and 32-bit styles, a growing and popular genre in
today’s gaming landscape.
Chris Cardillo, a partner in COLECO said, "Mark [Thomann] and I
are excited to work hand-in-hand with Retro Video Game Systems,
Inc. in the launch of the COLECO Chameleon. It's ironic that a
new ‘retro’ video-game system would actually revolutionize and
revitalize the COLECO brand."
And, for the first time in nearly 20 years, the COLECO Chameleon
will once again play brand new games on long-lasting, durable
cartridges that can be played, traded, and collected for a
lifetime. And all game cartridges will include high quality,
plastic clamshell cases with illustrated instruction manuals and
game developer liner notes.
Retro Video Game Systems, Inc. President Mike Kennedy adds, “The
COLECO Chameleon is a love-letter to all the classic cartridge
based gaming systems that came before it and we love the fact it
will succeed COLECO’s successful Telstar and Colecovision
product lines. It will take gamers and their families back to a
simpler time where games were all about great gameplay and fun
factor.”
The COLECO Chameleon will launch in 2016 and will also be
demonstrated at Toy Fair New York 2016, February 13-16.
