Subject: Hasbro did not buy CV & ADAM

Awhile back I expressed interest in finding out if the rumor was
true that Hasbro had purchased the rights to ColecoVision and the
ADAM computer after Coleco went out of business. Well, I finally 
got around to it and here is the answer straight from Hasbro's 
public relations office:


"Regarding your question about Coleco, Hasbro did not purchase
the rights to Colecovision and their ADAM computer.  We did 
recently purchase the rights to many Atari video games that were 
popular in the 1980s.  Emily Westhoven and her colleagues can 
provide you with more information on our video game offerings. "

(Westhoven handles PR for Hasbro Interactive - she refered me to
the main office for the Coleco question as Hasbro Interactive was 
not around when Coleco went under)

So the question still exists -- who does own the rights to the
ColecoVision and ADAM computer?
