[Coco] Best cartridge game?

[L. Curtis Boyle]

Hmm… Coco 3, keyboard and cartridge game only. That narrows it down quite a bit:

Tetris
Rad Warrior
Rampage (1 player only with just keyboard).
A Mazing World of Malcolm Mortar
Castle of Tharoggad (not recommended… :p )
Predator
Super Pitfall
Thexder

I may be missing a few, and most of the Coco 1/2 cartridges play fine on a Coco 3, so those could be included as well (that support keyboard only play).

One of the ones I want to put out is the CoCo 3. I don’t have a joystick or any game cartridges for it, but I do have a CoCoEPROMpak and a CoCoSDC. While the CoCoSDC is fine for me since I don’t have a problem typing commands, I think at a party it will be too “technical” and require too much instruction for people to use. I was thinking that maybe I could put a single game on the CoCoEPROMpak so that just turning on the computer will bring up a game.
