does anyone that I’m connected to #repair old TRS-80 Color Computers (or is connected to anyone who does) & is based even vaguely anywhere near #Canberra? (or within plausible shipping distance)
I wish to exchange $$ for goods & services to put the #MagicBlueSmoke back into my beloved old #CoCo1… 😢
#boost4reach pls 🙏

All the Adventures reaches The Final Countdown
in which I stop a general from destroying the world
and also give some history of voice sound synthesis

1983 finally begins at All the Adventures as I visit a game inspired by the 1970s disaster classic The Poseidon Adventure.
Includes a history of the community behind the Tandy CoCo as well as some thoughts on women in adventure game history.

in which I "finish" Easy mode on Keys of the Wizard
and observe how the cut game mechanics undercut some of the more interesting aspects of the adventure-roguelike style

All the Adventures reaches the sequel to one of the most difficult adventures of all time.
Except this time you can set the difficulty level! There's still randomization everywhere and it gives another opportunity to look at the roguelike-adventure genre.

New Tandy CoCo 3 game! 😍
Zero Hour
Nickolas Marentes
March 2022
This is a really well put together game that shows what the CoCo 3 can do. Platformer with a variety of mechanics and a ticking time bomb!
So, I've been testing this (read: playing lots of games... also RAM stress testing for aaaages), and it seems to be working 100% reliably for absolutely everything.
Seems the 74AS04 is just fine for the RAS line, none of the chips run warm at all - no errors so far (and I've been busy!)
A resounding success then! 😎
So my three pronged cable had to use this hole on the #TandyCoCo 3, it was too large for the two pin cable hole. I assume the European versions used this too?
However, I don't have a clue what sort of grommet or whatever to use to hold this in place. Any ideas? 🤔
A brief game this time for All the Adventures, from a tapemag that had to have room to store lots of other programs: Killer Mansion for the Tandy CoCo, as seen on the Coco-Cassette by T&D.
It's an abandoned house in the horror genre, except rather than supernatural creatures we have to deal with a killer. Huge difference!

I embark on El Diablero, a text adventure based on the fraudulent "magical anthropology" books by Carlos Castaneda.
> The old man told you that an evil Sorcerer, a “diablero”, had become his enemy. Now, your teacher is missing and you are alone.
In which I tackle Mansion of Doom (1982), which turns out to be surprisingly good for a minimally-designed Tandy CoCo game and comes with a number of surprises and fake-outs:
a new quest!
Williamsburg Adventure is based on the actual town of Williamsburg and was written by a student at William and Mary College
it involves rather more violence than expected
