The Coleco Gemini, not to be confused with the [Telstar Gemini](/museum/coleco-telstar-gemini/) system released by the same manufacturer in 1978, is a clone of the [Atari VCS 2600](/museum/atari-vcs-2600/).
|
|
|
|
It offers the exact same functionalities as the Atari system. Six switches : color/b&w display, on/off, left player difficulty A/B, right player difficulty A/B, Game Select and Reset.
|
|
|
|
Apart from the plastic case, only the controllers differ from the original system. Coleco put a joytsick AND a paddle on the same controller.
|
|
|
|
The Gemini was also sold for a short time (through mail-order club initially) by Columbia House as the **Columbia House Home Arcade**
