'''{{wp|Coleco|Coleco Industries, Inc.}}''', also known as simply '''Coleco''', was an American video game and toy company founded in 1932 by Maurice Greenberg as '''The Connecticut Leather Company'''. It was legally permitted by [[Nintendo]] to port ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' to home consoles and tabletops in 1982,<ref>{{cite|date=July 29, 1985|publisher=Justia|language=en|accessdate=November 11, 2024|url=law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/615/838/1515073|title=Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co. Ltd., 615 F. Supp. 838 (S.D.N.Y. 1985)}}</ref> and it was later offered the rights to ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' Even though Coleco had the right to port these two games only on home consoles, the company also ported ''Donkey Kong'' and ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' on its computer {{wp|Coleco Adam}}. Coleco justified its existence in that it uses a {{wp|ColecoVision}} cartridge as opposed to a cassette or floppy disk. Coleco also created ''Donkey Kong'' merchandise figures.
