Hello,
I have found that game for the CoCo on Facebook, so I have unassembled it and changed the way the keyboard is processed
The original file has six data blocks, but on the Dragon we can only load a single data block, so I have unified them.
Movement is controlled with the arrow keys, shoot with space and use 'Q' to quit current game
cheers!

Oh, really nice version.

I need to play it on a machine that lets me move and fire at the same time though (I suspect this laptop keyboard).

The spacebar is a little 'industrial' for such a trigger happy game. I think it plays more nicely with some other options for the fire key.

Thankfully space is on the same column as shift, so it's easy to support both of those.

Just replace the row output value in $44BA with $C0.

Try this version. Press 'r' on the title screen to redefine the keys.
