You know, if Coleco had dominated the market in the mid-80..

....we'd all be playing Colecovision DVD games now.

Scary thought. *shudders*. Smurf 10: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle: 3-D!

Well, if the Smurfs are your thing, check out the Smurf game on the
Playstation from a few years ago....

My favorite Smurf game is for the Apple 2. It's real a classic.

And if the TRS-80 CoCo dominated you'd be playing BEDLAM 3D.

YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU HAVE AWAKENED FROM A VERY LONG BAD DREAM ABOUT
DOCTORS AND PADDED ROOMS.

Well, if there weren't no Atari, we'd all be playing Nintendo Playing
Card games.

One thing that the CoCo 3 did better than the CoCo 1 or 2 was the
graphics/color selection. My gawd, comparing CoCo 3 games to CoCo 1 or
2 is like comparing the Atari 2600 to the Atari 5200. No comparison.

That would rule!

That was my 1st text adventure game

And I believe the CoCo was the only computer to have a true Zelda clone
'Quest for Thelda'

I had (actually still have it) a Trash-80 Model III. My first text
adventure was Pyramid 2000, never solved it. : ) Second one was
Bedlam which I solved a few times, iirc it had several different
random endings? Both are great games.
I remember when I was finally able to play Zork after upgrading with a
5 1/4 floppy drive and the ungodly amount of 48K. Zork never did it
for me...never came close to sparking the imagination like Pyramid or
Bedlam.

I remember in High School I typed in the entire game 'Search for Almarez -
text adventure game' from the 80 Micro magazine on the Tandy Model III
computers.

We would stay after school and play it... geesh I was such a geek. Someone
ported it over to the Tandy Color Computer. Serious flashbacks....

Bedlam had different ways you could win the game.

I really liked Black Sanctum graphic adventure on the Tandy Color Computer.
Was a little darker than the rest at the time.
