1984 Post Cereal Coleco game giveaway
Coleco Game Repair (Coleco Arcade Series)
Coleco (COnneticut LEather COmpany) started out by selling leather making kits for kids. In the early 1980's they started making really cool looking handheld games based on popular arcade games (the handhelds looked like little arcade games themselves). They managed to license authentic games for some of the most popular arcade games at the time: Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Galaxian, Zaxxon to name a few. They were also right on the heels of Mattel with various clones (and completely different versions) of the LED based sports games.
