[Coco] CoCo network games?

[Fedor Steeman]

Of course! How could I forget! Memories are getting back of me connecting a
CoCo1 and a CoCo3 together with a serial cable to try out this, because I
was fascinated by this concept of playing one game on two different
computers!

Amazing I couldn't remember. Glad I can now...

Since P51 probably is the only real-time network game ever made for the CoCo
it seems there is a niche here for more productions. Especially since a lot
of people nowadays have several CoCos standing...
