[Coco] Good memories with Mr. Bjork

[Sean]

After loving it in the arcade, I remember being EXTREMELY disappointed
with my Atari 2600 copy of Zaxxon.

Then when I finally got the CoCo version a year or two later, it's
like all was well again with the world.  And the name "Steve Bjork"
became one of my heroes.

Still haven't had the chance to play Z'89 though.  I remember the
Rainbow ads for it and wanted it desperately.  It was really hard
getting my parents to buy a game!
