Chess Challenger is an unreleased chess game for the ColecoVision that was announced back in 1983 before becoming vaporware and never getting an official release.

Winslinator in this run chooses to play against the CPU at the hardest difficulty and beats it as fast as possible. The moves made against the CPU were chosen to ensure that the CPU spends the least amount of time calculating its next move. For further details, you can read the author's notes.

Donkey Kong Jr. is the sequel to Donkey Kong, where the forgotten titular character has to rescue his father Donkey Kong from Jumpman/Mario. It has received ports to many video game consoles, and the ColecoVision is no exception.
Unlike most other ports, the ColecoVision port only has three unique levels instead of four and they are out of order. What would be the fourth level in the NES version is actually the second level here, and after completing it, you repeat the first level again before getting to what would usually be the second level in the NES version. EZGames69 plays as much of the game has to offer in one playthrough as fast as possible in this run.

Jumpman Junior is a game developed by Randy Glover, who described it as a "lite" version of Jumpman containing 12 levels for users without disk drives. In it, you need to defuse all of the bombs placed on Jupiter by terrorists. To do this, you must climb up ladders, touch the vines, and, of course, jump.
DrD2k9 improved most of the levels from the previous run by route changes and RNG manipulation for a total time save of 00:04.06 seconds.
Note: The character should not be confused with Mario, who was originally named Jumpman. Interestingly enough, Glover cited Donkey Kong as inspiration for this game. It is not known whether the naming is a coincidence or not.

Miner 2049er is a platform video game created by Bill Hogue that was released in 1982 by Big Five Software for many systems such as as the Atari 2600, ColecoVision, and Commodore 64. The title "Miner 2049er" evokes a 21st-century take on the California Gold Rush of around 1849, in which the gold miners and prospectors were nicknamed "49ers".
As Bounty Bob, the player's goal is to inspect every section of each mine in search of the evil Yukon Yohan while avoiding the radioactive creatures that inhabit the mine. As Bounty Bob walks over a section of flooring, it fills with color. To complete the level, every section of flooring must be colored.

You play as a treasure hunter named Panama Joe, whose goal is to find an ancient treasure hidden by Aztec warrior deep inside catacombs. But beware, the catacombs are a large maze inhabited by monsters. Bouncing and rolling skulls, dancing spiders, disappearing and re-appearing chains and tons of fire await you. You'll have to find many keys and unlock doors in order to reach your goal. Panama Joe can jump and climb ladders, but doesn't have much to offer in terms of combat. That's why the monsters in the game should be avoided: a collision with an enemy leads to a premature death. He will also find amulets which make him invulnerable for a short time. Except for the Master System version, they are activated directly when picked up.
nymx and DrD2k9 go through the nine levels in record time.
We also have a TAS of the Master System version, which includes more levels, amongst other changes.

Venture is an action-adventure game where a treasure hunter named Winky goes into dungeons to find treasure. The goal is to get all of the treasure in each level while fighting and dodging monsters. Stay in a room too long, and a big monster called the Hallmonster will chase down Winky and try to kill him.
In a TAS, due to a version-exclusive delay when changing direction inside rooms, the order of rooms visited is important, and changes to Winky's facing angle must be minimized to save time.
