List of Coleco Adam games

The Coleco Adam is a personal computer developed by Coleco from October 1983^[1] to January 1985.^[2]

Coleco released the computer as a separate unit and as Expansion Module #3 for its ColecoVision, which would upgrade the console to make it fully compatible with the Adam.^[3] Earlier in its lifetime, the Adam suffered major defects leading to as many as 60 percent of the first batch of machines being returned. The negative publicity of the defects, along with a sluggish production rate after a late 1983 approval from the Federal Communications Commission, guaranteed dismal sales, including one missed figure in Christmas 1983 (only about 95,000 units shipped against the expected 500,000),^[4] and software developers were hesitant to support the computer.^[5] After failing to rectify its marred reputation despite repairing most of the defects, aggressive price cuts, and even a $500 scholarship program, Coleco discontinued the computer more than a year after its launch.^[6]

One advantage of the Coleco Adam is that it is inherently fully compatible with all ColecoVision titles through its cartridge slot.^[7] This list only contains games that natively support the computer and its features, which were usually released on proprietary Digital Data Pack cassette tapes.^[8] For a separate list for ColecoVision, see list of ColecoVision games. Long after its support was dropped, a community of enthusiasts continues to provide hardware and software for the machine, including homebrew games.^[9] Therefore, only games that have been noted by a publication are counted for inclusion.
