I wonder what games will be available for it? If it comes with Donkey Kong like the original Colecovision did, I'm in!

That would be a monumental licensing issue these days. Unfortunately, I just can't see Nintendo licensing out Donkey Kong for something like this.

Yeah, you're probably right, but I can still hope. At any rate, they are going to need licensed games of some sort if they expect to have any success with this.

Havent found to many details on this thing so far. I really would prefer a system like the retron 5 but with the ability to play 2600, 5200, intellivision, and coleco games. The homebrew scene for these systems are thriving right now.

Really interested in this. Looking forward to more info.
(Interesting that they used the Atari Jaguar body for it.)

Kind of reminds me of the GCW Zero, although that's a handheld that is more of an emulator device, but it does have a few original titles for it.

Be interesting if the Chameleon is going to have original games or be an emulator box of some description.

I like those 16 bit games! Nice

**Bruce Banner** · Feb 10, '16, 8:55 AM

Awesome! Some of my favourite ColecoVision and Intellivision games are in there.

**palitoy** · Feb 10, '16, 8:57 AM

Ok this is something I can see using. Games lost me around the middle 1990s.

I have been a Colecovision fan since its d�but in 1982 with Donkey Kong pack-in game! I was 12 and it was the dream video game system!

I have Colecovision Flashback and it's ok, but Chameleon looks so much better and uses cartridges my favorite format!

Cannot wait until Toy Fair in 3 days for official unveil, games, and prices!

Lots of bad news coming out about the project.

Coleco Chameleon Kickstarter over before it even begins (update)

http://www.engadget.com/2016/03/02/coleco-chameleon-vanishing-act/

Last month RetroVGS's Coleco Chameleon made a big splash at Toy Fair, promising retro-gaming goodness from such storied systems as the SNES, the Intellivision and the Atari 2600. The Kickstarter was set to begin on February 26, but instead the company made an announcement that evening via Facebook stating that the crowdfunding process would be put on an indefinite delay. RetroVGS says the Kickstarter campaign was put on hold in order to finalize the prototype and lock down additional content for the system. However, an accompanying image was removed from the Facebook post after criticism that the Chameleon may not work as advertised.

Damn, that doesn't sound good.

**Bruce Banner** · Mar 9, '16, 1:12 PM

Well, it's all over. After a week of or so of revelations, resignations and shenanigans, Coleco Holdings have officially removed their name from the project and Retro VGS has apparently disappeared.

Announcement
