[Coco] Interesting Atari 2600 homebrew to CoCo connection

[Bill Loguidice]

Only "KC Monster Maze" is available, and it's directly from the author.
This is a completely new game and is not related to the straight up KC
Munchkin! port that will be available from AtariAge itself (I think; in any
case, those three games are mentioned here:
http://atariage.com/forums/topic/224037-almost-there-;/?p=2964015). By the
way, I'm having a nice chat with Tom via private message on AtariAge. I'll
ask him to drop a line on here if he's interested.
