[Coco] CoCo in Retro Gamer Magazine

[Nick Marentes]

The CoCo is feature in Retro Gamer Magazine this month!

Retro Gamer Issue 132 has 4 pages devoted to the Tandy TRS-80 in the 
column "Minority Report".

It features several CoCo games with a large part devoted to Greg 
Zumwalt's "A Mazing World of Malcolm Mortar". There is also a bit on 
Jeremy Spiller's "Crystal City".

Not a bad article, not too much technical detail although I cringed 
where they said...

"16-bit opposition and lackluster marketing resulted in the Color 
Computer 3 being the last in the TRS-80 line."

Wasn't that the case with all 8-bit computers by 1992? They make it 
sound like the Color Computer was a failure!

This is a British magazine where the CoCo wasn't so prominant as in the US.

How many other 8 bit systems lasted until 1992 and could boast so many 
retail outlets?

This issue was also good for their feature of the Atari 7800 and an 
article covering the top 25 games for the Atari 400/800.
