Just wanted to add my voice of appreciation for this effort. For some reason I could not get the original version to transfer properly, so I have only just got round to playing this today. Wonderful stuff. I can really imagine paying Microdeal £8 for this back in the day and being well pleased for once.....it just goes to show how great the old beast can be.
I am planning a games day with a couple of mates, one of whom is a former Dragon owner. Needless to say, I am really lookingforward to showing them this...
Thanks again.

@drmarkb: Glad you like it and thanks for the feedback!
Just got back off hols and noticed Flagon Bird has been ported to the TRS-80 MC-10.
There's also a clone for the Acorn Atom.

Today I spotted an article from Micro Mart July 10th giving Flagon Bird a little mention.
Also I noticed on Bitly I'd had a download from French Polynesia. There are literally Dragon/CoCo enthusiasts all over the world!

Re: Flagon Bird
It's great to see the Dragon homebrew scene starting to take off again. This game is a killer example of what can be achieved within the limited (by modern standards) confines of the Dragon 32/64. Well done, Bosco.
My seven year old son played it last night on xroar and he thought it was "cool". You don't get better than that!!

Re: Flagon Bird
Well this forum made it possible in my case. People are incredibly supportive here and generous with their knowledge too [group hug].
Glad your young son is learning to appreciate the Dragon. My six year old daughter was chief `helper' on FB. Had to draw the line at adding unicorns though.
Joking aside, it's been a very positive experience and I'm already kicking around ideas for project #2.
BTW. If you're running FB in XRoar on a 60Hz display choose one of the NTSC emulations for smoother scrolling.
