Just about and also the Sega SG-1000, which I believe some of the game conversions are also based on. Those three, the ColecoVision/Adam, Sega SG-1000 and MSX1 are all remarkably similar, and I suppose you could throw in the Spectravideo 318/328 as well. The TI-99/4 and /4a, as well as the Tomy Tutor are close cousins, but just far enough off due to their processors not to be a close enough match for a straightforward conversion.
One of the nice things about these conversions is that additional tweaks are often possible to make the game run smoother or have additional functionality, etc. One example of this is the two player mode in Yie Ar Kung Fu on the ColecoVision, something no other version had.

Guys, as the MSX1 and Colecovision hardware is so very close in nature, wouldn't just about any MSX1 game be possible on the Coleco?
