Follow Me by John W. Linville

For those of you not on Facebook (or for those that haven't 'liked' the "TRS-80 / Color Computer" page there), you might not be aware of my recent CoCo developments... I have recently released "Follow Me", a clone of the 80's-era 'Simon' game targeted at the Tandy Color Computer. The game can be co...

Re: Another rare brazilian coco clone...

I only know another person who has this machine and it have keyboard problems. Is there any chance of getting a ROM dump from that machine (temporarily put the EPROM chip in your MX1600) so we can check to make sure that the ROM code from yours has not been hacked and rewritten to the EPROM by a th...

Re: Another rare brazilian coco clone...

Here are the Color BASIC and EXTENDED BASIC ROM dump. The MEM function has been hacked to display 57383 BASIC bytes free at power-up, even though the top of memory available to BASIC is set to $7FFE as normal. :lol: Someone has put a JUMP at $B4F0 to a slightly modified version of the MEM function ...

Re: Retrospectiva Competition

That clears up a lot. My Coco 2 was a late model Coco 2 (it has lowercase capable VDG). It sounds like it manifests this short lived modification Those late model CoCo 2's always come with Color BASIC 1.3 fitted as standard. Color BASIC 1.3 is almost identical to 1.2. The only slight difference is ...

Re: Retrospectiva Competition

Yes, there's a version of Pipe Frenzy on the JGGAMES5.DSK. However, it is still a bit of a work in progress. There are several problems with game play and compatibility across all the Coco models that I'm working on. See my blog for updates. I'll be releasing a new version of it soon. Blog: http://...
