There were cartridge releases of Robocop and Predator. I don¹t recall them
being very good, though.

Dungeons of Daggorath was by far my favorite cartridge game for the CoCo.
I felt it was ahead of its time in gameplay, and the replay value is still
present today. I come back to it every once in a while. It¹s a shame the
sequel, Castle of Tharoggad was so poor in comparison.
