[Coco] [Color Computer] Complete T&D Software Archive: Documentation

[David Bush]

Thanks very much! There are some choice Tom Mix games in there:

76 Sailorman, a sort of Popeye meets Lode Runner.

77 Buzzard Bait, like Joust, prepare for carpal tunnel syndrome as you
flap and flap.

79 The King, Donkey Kong

81 Draconian, like Kobo Deluxe (Linux game)

83 Brewmaster, cheesy but addictive, very relaxing- NOT

87 King Tut, I think this is also called Tut's Tomb, another sort of
Lode Runner.

90 Color Car Action, cheesy and slow paced, but addictive

93 Grabber, the only one here I haven't played, but the description
seems cool.

94 Fourcube, 3-D tictactoe on a 4x4x4 grid, like Qubic. I wrote this.
Fun once you figure out the GUI. Strength levels range from idiot to
almost perfect. "Faircube" option to reduce the advantage of the first
move.

99 Fangman, another cool cheesy game.

106 Katerpillar II, like the Caterpillar arcade game.

I'm sure there are other gems I passed over because I never played them.

But (sigh) I don't find the best Tom Mix software of all, EDT and MAS,
the best non-OS9 ML editor/assembler package ever written for the
CoCo. EDT had so many truly useful features, it left all the other
editors in the dust. For example, You could keep the line you edit in
the middle of the screen instead of at the bottom, to give your eyes
and your posture a break. Automatic local label generation so you
don't have to make up a label for a conditional branch. Etc. etc.
