Of course, because Alternate Reality is an OS-9 game, that will keep 
rebooting OS-9.

I believe this game was written for the CoCo3 OS-9 Level 2 (released 
'88?) although it uses a CoCo2 graphics mode (PMODE4,1).

There must be some way to choose the colors since the syncronization is 
not random on the CoCo3.
