[Coco] Interbank Incident

[Donald Cathcart]

It was a great game. I had the speechpak module and it added a lot to the
games that supported it.

I also enjoyed playing Kronis Rift and Rescue On Fractalus. Man, when that
purple monster appeared and smashed the window for the first time, I
literally jumped! Great gaming moments.

Of course, the King's Quest games were great as well.
