This is a response to THIS post. Although the original can be used under CoCo Disk BASIC by entering 'PCLEAR1' before loading , I have modified the game so it loads, and runs without the need to enter the PCLEAR statment. This game can now also be enjoyed by all Dragon owners.

The modified CoCo versions include Steve Woolham's PCLEAR fix to enable them to work on any CoCo with at least 32K of RAM, and extended color BASIC.

The reason I didn't post a response over at Coco3.com, is because I have tried to become a member several times, but never received a reply to any of my emails. Perhaps someone who is also a member at coco3.com could post a reply in that thread to tell him that there is a solution to his problem here at the Dragon forum.

Regards,
Steve

Many thanks for this. I was surprised, I only knew of Voyager and V.C. I hope the other Avalon Hill stuff appears at some point, Briza's collection doesn't contain Panzer's East and Shootout apparently. There's Nukewar on the "Wargame" disk though, wonder if that's a genuine Tandy release.

That's not the game NukeWar, its part of WARGAME.

G'Day Starscream.

Mate I am still hoping to get my hands on Panzer East and Shootout to add to my collection in the future.
Never know I may still have 1 off those missing games in my collection, still have a few hundred disks to go thru yet lol. Fingers crossed I may indeed have 1 of them in the disks.

Hi briza,
thanks for providing it - the collection is certainly already fantastic, I was glad to find games other games besides Midway Campaign in there which I had looked for in other sets to no avail.

Thanks for the nice comment on my collection, Well Just to let you know I did manage to get my hands on the 2 missing Avalon games I was after, A top guy called Steve found them and passed them on, I now have the complete Avalon games series. Just waiting on Rodder to add them to my current collection.

Thanks for the heads up. Are you going to update the collection directly, or make some sort of update package available? I wouldn't have a problem downloading the whole set again for anything you add, but I suppose that'd create unnecessary bandwith costs.

I have a question regarding a specific game though. The collection includes "Arrow of Death 2" playable on the CoCo, do you know if that was a legit release? It's part of the "mysterious adventures" by Brian Howarth, but I haven't found any "hard proof" they were indeed officially released on the CoCo. I initially thought the Scott Adams adventures might be conversions too, but then I found advertising for all the adventures (1-13). Sorceror of Claymorgue Castle was even advertised in Europe together with the Dragon version and other ports.

That's if you are referring to my Games collection Starscream.

Can you tell me which game folder is the Arrows of Death 2 located in, maybe if I knew which folder may trigger where I located the game etc.
Yeah as I get more titles I will add them to the collection or get Rodder to update it. That's if I can't locate the info to log in again so I will be having to have Rodder do all updates!!!

Yes, it's in your collection, I found Arrow of Death 2 in the "text adventures" folder.

Hi ya Starscream.

Ok I reckon I found that game on a disk in my collection. But then I may have even more games that were ported over and never officially released. If i find anything else I will let u know mate
