CrackPots (ColecoVision)

CrackPots (2026) by Electric Dreams for ColecoVision โ€” Defend your building by dropping flower pots from the roof to crush invading bugs before they destroy it.

CrackPots by Electric Dreams for ColecoVision

Release notes:

CrackPots is a ColecoVision homebrew adaptation of the classic 1983 Activision title originally designed by Dan Kitchen for the Atari 2600.

You play as Potsy, a Brooklyn gardener whose building is under siege. Bugs are swarming out of the sewers and climbing toward your windows โ€” and your only weapon is a rooftop full of flower pots. Move left and right, drop your pots at the right moment, and crush the invaders before they break through.

But if too many bugs get inside, the building crumbles โ€” one floor at a time โ€” until there’s nothing left.
