[Coco] Digg Story: Star Wars on a Radio Shack Color Computer (circa 1986)?

[Sean]

This is amazing!  I would definitely add this to my CoCo exhibit at
next year's Midwest Gaming Classic!  It would be especially awesome
next to the ZX81 video demo they bring every year.

Also, and not to disrupt any future CoCofest talks, but I believe the
organizers of the MGC would be open to have the CoCo fest at the event
(I may have mentioned it to them....)   The past couple years they've
hosted a Commodore users group there.  Might be something for everyone
to consider.  They had a couple of the smaller conference rooms
reserved for specific events, the CoCo might be an interesting fit
there.

> John Linville, a retro hobbyist, has created a full motion video player (with sound!) for the old Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer 3 (circa 1986). Although the resolution isn't great (it looks like web video from the mid 1990s), it's amazing a 1.89mhz 8-bit processor with NO real graphics hardware (just a bitmap screen) could do it at all.
