The CoCo Nation Show

This is the last week CoCoTALK! is in the middle of #SepTandy and we wrapped up the event with a great new music parody and video from D. Bruce Moore, sung to the tune of Bow, Wow Wo's "I Want Candy", Bruce gives us "I want Tandy!" We reviewed a lot of #SepTandy happenings this pas week and so much more!

Welcome to official Glenside Color Computer Club virtual picnic, which usually happens in person, in the Chicago area, but, in these trying times, most things are virtual now. Join us for food, drinks and merriment, and talking about the CoCo! as we continue to celebrate #SepTandy all September, as well as celebrate Tandy the rest of the year! #SepTandy

Glen Dahlgren is the author of the upcoming young-adult fantasy novel, the Child of Chaos–a passion project that is the culmination of Glen’s lifelong love of fantasy and years of experience releasing compelling characters into fascinating worlds and describing what happens. His debut title is scheduled to be published in 2020. Wearing slightly different hats, Glen has written, designed, directed, and produced award-winning, narrative-driven computer games for the last three decades. What’s more, he had the honor of creating original fantasy and science-fiction storylines that took established, world-class literary properties into interactive experiences. He collaborated with celebrated authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (The Death Gate Cycle), Robert Jordan (The Wheel of Time – soon to be a TV series from Amazon), Frederik Pohl (Heechee saga), Terry Brooks (Shannara), and Piers Anthony (Xanth) to bring their creations to the small screens. In addition, he crafted licensor-approved fiction for the Star Trek franchise as well as Stan Sakai’s epic graphic novel series, Usagi Yojimbo.

CoCoTALK! has been meeting virtual and being social distant (yet connected) before it became the in thing to do. We carry the tradition of keeping the Tandy, Dragon and MC-10 flame alive this week from our homes, at least 6.5 fee from each other, but still sharing our love for the Coco. We're going to try and keep the show a "tight" two hours today to give everyone a change to take part in the TRS-80 Trash Talk live show at 4PM EDT.

This week we had a very special guest host, none other than Nick Marotta, Nick Marotta, Nick Marotta! We heard from Brendan Donahe about the newest update to the CoCoVGA firmware and software utilities, as well as MC-10, Dragon, and CoCo news, and project updates from the panel.

The theme this week was CoCo holiday memories along with news, and update on the CoCO port of Oregon Trail, and so much more! Some news stories for November 16, 2019 show: 1) Petsasjim1 Dragon game play video updates: Hungry Horace (a twist on PacMan with multi-screen, connected mazes). https://youtu.be/iK7WQHuv5Q4 The Immortal Strain (a text adventure game, but with text on a PMODE 4 screen for lowercase, 32x24 and bolder, easier to read text): https://youtu.be/H1uNk5Tdi-M Horace Goes Skiing (Frogger and Skiing mixed into one game): (Goto 1:28 to show successfully getting to the Skiing stage, after showing the title screen/music) https://youtu.be/nc4ex03C-mY Hornets (arcade game): https://youtu.be/-sXAojE1an0 Hi-Lo: https://youtu.be/n4yAwAO54_U Hareraiser: A BASIC mix of word puzzles with graphics that was divided into two parts (Prelude & Finale, on separate tapes). Once you solved both, you submitted registration cards for both programs to Haresoft, and could win up to 30,000 pounds cash, or a Golden Jeweled Hare. This was for both the Amstrad CPC and the Dragon, so I imagine that the one prize applied to both platforms combined: Prelude video: https://youtu.be/LC3RSYMhmjg Finale video: https://youtu.be/rYkuONibZQY Prelude cassette artwork and rules: http://archive.worldofdragon.org/index.php?title=Hareraiser_(Prelude) Hide and Seek (a memory game): https://youtu.be/DfoojEoY5OE 3D OXO (3D Tic Tac Toe), I think written in BASIC?: https://youtu.be/IMD7pJDwrbU Indoor Football (Soccer) - very well done: https://youtu.be/Tc5EVSCLLJk Interplanetary Trader (well laid out text space trading game): https://youtu.be/cnBFUzbV_fE Jet Boot Colin: https://youtu.be/xi4B-1ReynE 2) Henry Reitveld has a video up showing the Spectral Associates game "Module Man" running on the Coco, a Dragon (both with Speech / Sound Pac, and the Coleco Adam (with background music). Has anybody heard of Module Man on the Adam before? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h2ESX3EX2co 3) Rob Inman put up a video of him playing the new Xenion/6309 version, showing him getting to the 2nd & 3rd planets (no sound, unfortunately): https://youtu.be/AsvDuGLIkl8 4) Lee Perkins has been trying to basically make his own routine to give 80x25x16 color text mode working on the Coco 3, with an extended IBM character set, for a game he wants to port. Discussing with Sock Master (John Kowalski), and the techniques that John used in Twilight Terminal, Lee got something similar working using the same techniques (3 screens flipped through, and alternate dithering between each screen), and the results look pretty good (skip down in the comments for the fully working video). There is some "shimmer", but it looks pretty good: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10157648209652641/?comment_id=10157648317327641&reply_comment_id=10157654778392641 5) Jim Gerrie is working on 3D maze routines for the MC-10 to help him port Maze of Argon from the VZ-200. His current work in progress: https://youtu.be/pNcqn0sR7w8 6) Henry Reitveld has posted 2 videos of Intellivision ported games to the Coco - are these real, and has anyone seen these before?: Night Stalker: https://youtu.be/w_yMzZeRQxk Astrosmash: https://youtu.be/mzRjSmepjJM 7) Rick Adams posted a video showing some upgrades come to Temple of ROM: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10157656343317641/ 8) Our own Stevie Strow has a project update for today: https://youtu.be/L0AABqhKjrM And he also play tested the Coco 1/2 compatible 6309 enhanced games that I released over the last couple of weeks: https://youtu.be/OxOCBuyDHuM 9) Paul Fiscarelli has released the source code to the Coco 3 game that him and Simon Jonassen released about a month ago (Run Dino Run): https://github.com/pfiscarelli/Run-Dino-Run?fbclid=IwAR1i5jb-4HHvNOHsDiPCggerFPRclHBUdc__iSf4j8Q8Kyyk92jcjGbLqG4 10) The latest CocoShow from amigosretrogaming is up on Twitch (part of 3 hour stream of 3 of their shows in a row)... the Coco section (feature Time Bandit and Thexder) starts at 2:58:12. It will later be put on YouTube as it's own show. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/508827521 Email any suggestions you have for the show to [email protected] Visit us on the web at http://cocotalk.live Join us for daily conversations on Discord: https://discord.gg/4J5nHXm To find out more about the Color Computer visit http://imacoconut.com

It shows its graphic selection boot/screen. (The Alpha was a Dragon 64 with built in modem, AY Sound chip, disk interface with two 3.5" drives, and optional boot straight into OS-9). https://youtu.be/71YFVLMb05k Galleons (Battleship type game): https://youtu.be/LEYu9PZBzBw Ghost Attack - which is a port of Computerware's Pac Attack, but with 1) a different name, and 2) different color scheme. https://youtu.be/BmE1bxSyF7o Golf (did the Coco or Dragon *ever* have a good golf game?) https://youtu.be/4k4DW2Olh1Y Grand Prix (Salamander Software) - BASIC game https://youtu.be/4k4DW2Olh1Y Grid Runner: https://youtu.be/LQpUyjwjGM4 5) Henry Rietveld put up a video showing making a Canyon Climber disk (on a real floppy disk) - the twist being it is an 8" floppy, not 5.25 or 3.5" https://youtu.be/Zn1ldeK6d94 6) 6309 optimized games: Xenion (original, 6809 optimized, 6309): https://youtu.be/wxdf17B5TfE Marble Maze (original, 6309): https://youtu.be/pXqNKKMRXeY F-16 Assault: https://youtu.be/g7z33ezwyYs 8) GigerPunk released a video of the game Pub Crawl on the Dragon 32 - which reminds me of the first level of Poltergeist: https://youtu.be/YFSvbwf90EY 9) Chet Simpson has been working on a VGM to SN chiptune convert, using his prototype CPF player for the Coco.: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10157631912167641/ 10) On the software side of things, Simon uploaded a 4 voice software demo that plays a 3 minute, 55 second tune, with, in only 5404 bytes. It also only uses about 1/3 of the CPU cycles, leaving 2/3 for a main program, game, etc. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10157632391457641/ To download: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2359462640/permalink/10157633124047641/ 11) Nick Marentes put up a short blog, and video, for the latest updates to Gunstar - including some sneak peaks at all 4 levels. http://www.nickmarentes.com/Gunstar/22.html 12) Jerry Young is porting the "Duke of Dragonfear" game from the book "Giant Book of Computer Games" to the MC-10 (Jim Gerrie has competition!", and has a video showing it's current state: https://youtu.be/p-c2YhkLz1M 13) Lucas Boy on YouTube did a video of Coco 1/2 games under XRoar - his first real experience with a Coco.
