Welcome to CoCoTALK! Episode 34, the first live CoCoTALK! we've had in about 3 weeks. Due to home internet issues, ogStevieStrow has been unable to live stream the show, the past few episodes have been pre-recorded. Today Grant Leighty takes over as both the live stream host and the show host for episode 34. The primary topics discussed were Discord, the new audio/video chat application most of the panel of CoCoTALK! use to communicate behind-the-scenes, as well as some of the differences between using various emulators and real hardware. Next week we hope to be back to the regular program, thanks for sticking with us.

Only the bravest souls enter, only the most cunning return! Defeat innumerable monsters to ransom the king’s scepter, stolen by the evil wizard and kept deep in the Forest of Doom. Your sword, shield and wits are your only allies – pray you find a magical Inn as your only respite! Forest of Doom is a Role Playing Adventure Game for the Tandy Color Computer 1, 2, and 3. Created by D. Bruce More in roughly 1982 for a 4K CooCo 1 with standard Color BASIC, Bruce put this game to the side when get got a 16K CoCo 2 and started writing games in Extended Color BASIC, and eventually sold 5 games that were published by T&D Software as games on cassette, party of a monthly subscription software service. This game was lost and forgotten for almost 30 years, when in 2016, Bruce's brother got him a CoCo 2 from a thrift store, and to his surprise, Bruce found some of original cassette tapes, and, the original version of Forest of Doom. It's been a labor of love updating and enhancing this game to now run on a 32K CoCo requiring a disk drive and Extended BASIC,. We'll hear about Bruce's early beginnings, all the way up to the process of completing Forest of Doom in 2017. We'll see an exclusive first look at an extended video trailer, and see the world premier of what the game actually looks like. You can get your own copy of the strategy guide which contains a link to download the game and the soundtrack at: http://fod.gracenote.ca/ Video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZgJxtLdeIMA CoCo Merchandise: http://8bit256.com CoCo Links: http://imacoconut.com CoCoTALK! http://cocotalk.live ogStevieStrow: http://ogsteviestrow.com Custom artwork designed by Instagram artist Joel M.

In episode 31 of CoCoTALK! we'll discuss the buzz this week that's been going on in Facebook at the possibility of a modern version of the Rainbow Magazine, which was "the institution" of tech magazines for the Color Computer. Ron Delvaux has been busy creating not only mock covers, but will have a 20+ digital version of what the magazine could look like. We have set up a website for an on-line version of the magazine which is http://therainbow.online and we'll hear people's opinion and suggestions on what a new Rainbow should be, seeing as there is already a monthly podcast and a weekly live talk show, it wouldn't be the place to get breaking news, but it could serve a nice periodical to document things that have happened, quarterly, bi-annually, or even a year-end review. Weigh in with your thoughts, opinions and suggestions.
