[Coco] Robot Odyssey game

[Andrew]

The CoCo version was a "PMODE 4" game; it actually didn't look bad (as 
long as you were playing it on a TV). I'm not sure, but I imagine on a 
CoCo 3 with the CM-8 (or other RGB method - like Roy's LCD adapter) - it 
would be in black and white (I don't know if there was a patch for it or 
not).
