===Expansion Modules===
*'''[[File:ColecoVision-Module1.jpg|150px|right]]Expansion Module #1''' makes the ColecoVision compatible with the [[Atari 2600]]. Functionally, this gave the ColecoVision the largest software library of any console of its day. The expansion module prompted legal action from Atari, but Atari was unable to stop sales of the module because the 2600 could be reproduced with off the shelf parts. Coleco also designed and sold the Gemini game system, which was a clone of the 2600, but with combined joystick/paddle controllers.
*'''[[File:ColecoVision-Module2.jpg|150px|right]]Expansion Module #2''' is a driving controller (steering wheel / gas pedal) that came packaged with a port of the arcade game ''Turbo''. The gas pedal is merely a simple on/off switch, so many games used the second ColecoVision controller as a gear shift for more precise speed control. Even though it's called "an expansion module", it actually plugs into the controller port, not into the Expansion Module Interface.
*'''Expansion Module #3''' converts the ColecoVision into a full-fledged computer known as the Adam, complete with keyboard, digital data pack (DDP) cassette drives and printer.
