[Coco] Color Computer Archive

[Guillaume Major]

I agree that a demo would be more appropriate for the archive but none seems 
to exist. Maybe John can make a demo version of his game like he did with 
Soviet Bloc so it could be included in the archive for preservation. Or else 
it risks to be lost forever.

John Strong doesn't seem to have a web site to sell his games but according 
to L. Curtis Boyle's excellent coco site, he can be contacted by email at 
johnstrong at hotmail.com.
