Coleco's flagship gaming system, the Colecovision controllers have both a
directional stick and a keypad. Coleco offered many expansions for this system,
including Expansion Module #3 which
connects to the
expansion port on the front of the unit, and
turns the system into a Coleco Adam home
computer.

The Gemini is a clone of the Atari 2600, it has the same
switches, a different control which combines the separate stick and paddles of
the Atari, and plays Atari cartridges. Atari took Coleco to court over the
Gemini, but since the system contains no software (it's all in the Cartridges)
or proprietary components, and Atari held no patents on the design, it was
ruled that the Gemini was legal. The cartidge shown is "Venture", which
appears in the upper left corner of my
Ataru 2600 Cartridge display.
