It occurs to me that I don't think I've ever even seen an actual 5200 in person. I remember pining for one very briefly when it first came out, but I moved on pretty quickly and nobody I knew ever had one.
I had cousins with Coleco, and my grandmother ended up with it after it was obsolete. I played it quite a bit at her house in the late 80s. She had quite a few of the peripherals, and a decent library. Montezuma's Revenge is still one of my all time favorites.
Never heard of Vectrex back in the day. It's probably for the best, I lusted after those Coleco tabletops back in the day. The Vectrex would have completely blown my mind.
