[Coco] Worst game ever...

[Bill Loguidice]

Crazy. I can't possibly imagine why Tandy wouldn't release this, then. It's
not like the CoCo had an abundance of full-scale RPGs. Surely they could
have worked something out with Datasoft before they went under (and it's
not like all of those other versions I mentioned didn't see release; they
did).

I doubt I'll have time, but if no one makes a video of it, I'll do a direct
feed capture if I get a chance, though it most likely won't be this weekend.
