Does your ColecoVision smell?

[Jorpho]

For some reason in all these years I don't think it's occurred to me to ask this before.

If there's one thing I associate with my old ColecoVision, it's a distinctive odor. Of course it is hard to describe, but it's something like decaying plastic and mothballs. Not a bad smell, mind you; I of course have many pleasant memories associated with it. Maybe it's something in the plastic breaking down, or some component in that monster of a power supply. Or maybe my CV was just stored somewhere odd.

So, does your ColecoVision smell?

[Jack_Burton_BYOAC]

Yes, it does.

So do several of the oldest consoles or Pong clones I've come across. It's just something about that 1970s plastic and PCB material.

Ah, yes, the Coleco smell. I can't speak for the Colecovision since I haven't had one for awhile but the PCBs in the Coleco tabletop VFD games all have a distinct odor.

At least you didn't spray Axe on it and make it smell like a douchebag.

Maybe your colecovision has spent the past 20 years in Peter Griffin's belly button.

So, do Atari 2600's smell the same way?
