Yeah, I know I do tend to bid high on some CoCo items - I'm trying to
collect all the non-Radio Shack items that I could never afford as a
teenager.  And the #1 item I've been after all this time was Gantelet II.
To me, that was the best game ever created in that era (although Nick M's
work now surpasses that).

And please, no need to call me Mr. Carlin.  That's my dad's name. :-)
