Only 40+ Hours Left to Back The CollectorVision Phoenix: An FPGA ColecoVision Console

CollectorVision Phoenix: Rising from the ashes, there is a new way to play your favorite ColecoVision™ games on modern Televisions.

 

 

Product Description:

The CollectorVision Phoenix™ is an FPGA ColecoVision™ compatible system that plays ALL ColecoVision™ games.  The CollectorVision Phoenix™ is the first true ColecoVision™ FPGA  console, and includes over $350 worth of extra value.

What is an FPGA?

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a programmable chip that can recreate digital circuits in hardware. An FPGA will let us recreate the components used in the actual ColecoVision so the system will be just as accurate as the original system.

Dimensions

– 7.50″ x 4.75″ x 7.50″ x 1.8″ (L H)

Expandability

The CollectorVision Phoenix is an Open Source system, so it will be able to be upgraded and expanded in the future using open source FPGA cores. It will be possible to expand the capabilities of the Phoenix to work as other systems, like the Atari 2600, once the core has been ported to the Phoenix.
