I have it but it crashes on my CoCo3. I wonder if this hacked version is 
clashing with the CoCoSDC. I don't know why it would. It runs in VCC.

More on Alternate Reality...

I ran it up and I think it is a pretty good port. This port was done by 
James Garon of Datasoft (he did Pooyan) and is quite good. The turn 
based nature of the game suits the OS-9 environment. The game is PMODE 4 
black/buff so uses artifacting which is B/W on a CoCo3 with an RGB Monitor.

Overall, the presentation of the game is quite good although lacking the 
colors of the Atari version and the music. I wonder if it's meant to 
support the Sound and Speech cartridge? I'm too lazy to hook up my 
Multi-Pac to try it. Anyone here got it running with a SSC? What does it 
sound like?

Coming from James Garon, it may be good.

It's not quit my style of game but for those who enjoy role playing 
games, this is good. It even has a small 3D environment you can navigate 
in and the speed is comparible to the Atari, may even be a bit faster 
(judging by the YouTube videos) and this is probably due to the lower 
color resolution used on the CoCo.

Check it out. Anyone want to make a YouTube video of it (with SCC if it 
supports it) to show it off to the world?
