Evolution (ColecoVision)

Evolution is a collection of minigames based around an amoeba evolving and becoming increasingly intelligent.

SPOILER ALERT: Earth explodes at the end because the now-human amoeba had the gall to shoot a few robots in self-defense.

Revisional Differences#

Coleco

Telegames

When the game was re-released by Telegames, all mentions of Sydney Development and the game's developers were wiped from the title screen. The 'presents' text wasn't removed, however, and looks very out-of-place as a result.
