Description: This is the actual program that was used to write ColecoVision and ADAM games at Coleco! There are many versions floating around, but the prized version to have is the properly patched cartridge version. The cartridge version, besides allowing you to write and manipulate Coleco games, also while playing a game with the cartridge installed and pressing "RESET" on the ADAM it captures the game screen. You can then manipulate the sprites, background graphics, etc. You can save captures to tape/disk as well as modify these screens. It allows you to connect to the VAX mainframe (for those of us who have one at home) to four compiles or four libraries of routines. The cartridge is a special 64k cartridge (RAM for screen captures). There are at least 3 versions of this. An EOS (Standard ADAM OS), CP/M, and cartridge. All are basically the exact same program with the exception of how the program loads. The non-cartridge versions require a 64k or greater A memory expander for the ADAM, while the cartridge version has this feature built in.
