[Coco] French coco games

[Rietveld Rietveld]

Give me a day or so and I will backup the physical floppies onto my SDC and upload them to the archive site.
Like I said before if they are hacks then someone really spent a lot of time on them.   Wizard's Den looks like it could have been originally written in French; it's that good.
