Recommended Emulators

BlueMSX

While labeled as an MSX emulator, the emulator contains full compatibility for ColecoVision ROMs- though it lacks features present in most other emulators apart from savestates and pausing.

MEKA

Despite being created to emulate Sega's 8 bit consoles, ColecoVision games are for the most part 100% compatible with MEKA, even being able to utilize the debugging tools such as layer removal and graphics viewer.
