Help me with identifying old TRS-80 games

[John_L]

Color Baseball was the baseball game, it was good, and it played better with the deluxe joysticks too. Perhaps Dungeons of Daggorath was the 3D game...?

 

 

There's also a PC port available online for download for free if interested in playing.

Stellar-7?

 

Anyways TRS-80.com is a good reference.

Digging up my old thread.

 

Can anybody let me know if there are any good emulators for the CoCo 1? I did a quick search and it looks like it's mostly old stuff that might not run on Windows 7/8.

 

How about MESS?

M.E.S.S. does a pretty good job with CoCo emulation. It's one of the only emulators to get color artifacting right. It's a bit more awkward to setup and you'll want to download a frontend like MESSUI to make using it easier. Since it emulates most old computers setup is a bit more involved.
VCC is good and easy to set up but it's artifacting emulation is just 4 color.

There was another game he had that used pseudo-vector-style graphics (a la Battlezone), but I think it was set in outer space rather than in a tank. I imagine it would look corny today, but I remember being blown away back then by the 3D effect of it. Any idea what that game might be?

 

Was it Varloc? Vector characters fighting on a floating plane?

 

At first I was going to say Rommel 3D, but that one's a Battlezone clone (real vectors again).

 

I suppose the other possibility is Silpheed.

Doesn't this one work in Windows 7?

I've run this on XP SP2 and I think on Vista. I've yet to try it on 7, so I'm not totally sure.

 

If not, I wonder what would happen if you ran it under DOSbox.
