#podcast | ColecoVision Expansion Module | #gaming History Preserved | Acquisition #013

Welcome to the Rkaydz Collection.

Tonight, we induct a rare and rebellious artifact from 1982: the ColecoVision Expansion Module #1 — a bold piece of hardware that dared to play its rival's games. This slightly worn module may not look like much, but it represents one of the most radical acts of compatibility in video game history.

While Atari and Coleco were battling for dominance, this expansion module broke the rules. It allowed ColecoVision owners to play Atari 2600 cartridges directly — without modding, emulation, or apology. A silent treaty, forged in plastic.

In this episode, we explore the era of Thriller, TRON, Cheers, and the dawn of digital media — and celebrate an artifact that quietly reshaped the console landscape.
