[Coco] Rainbow cassettes

[Robert Gault]

Probably it is hoping for a particular artifact color set. However, that 
depends on the manner in which a specific Coco boots up. Typically a 
game that relies on artifact color gives you a chance to swap colors. 
That is either done by hitting the RESET key while looking at a color 
swatch (red/blue) or answering a question "is the swatch red?".

If you don't have any instructions and don't see a color swatch, try 
hitting the RESET key while the game is running.
