    Any of you still own an Adam computer. I love that PC :) Unfortunately I
    had to sell it when I lived in Puerto Rico because of financial problems. I
    am trying to save $ to purchase another one but it's hard being handicapped
    and not able to work. And the little $ I do get barely lasts. I used to do a lot of LOGO programming on it just for my own entertainment :) I love the Dragon's Lair game on it. I have an emulator for the PC but the control is
    so weird and the keyboard emulation just plain sucks :)

    There is ucblogo as part of most Linux versions including the Pi. I doubt it would be better than what you've tried and it only does logo, There is a website: http://www.zophar.net/coleco.html with a list of Coleco emulators.

    I'm not too familiar with this machine and thought to look into it. Saw a youtube video, guy talking about what was wrong and right with it. I have to say, the concept is pretty decent. Computer and gaming system all in one. I know that doesn't sound unique as C64 took cartridges but this took Colecovision. Anyway, it sounds like they along with product quality issues
    and arriving at the scene a little late.. integrated tape drive it was a failure. It's too bad because like I said the concept of this machine is neat. Thoughts anyone?

    I always thought it was a cool machine, but I think hardware problems killed it.

    I just recently purchased one and installed ADE (sd storage) and just about
    all Adam and colecovision games on it. Loving it.
