jhd Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The Coco received some excellent clones of popular 1980s games, but very few ports that appeared on most 8-bit systems. As best I can recall, the following titles were "officially" ported to the Coco: Frogger Pooyan Sea Wolf Shamus Zaxxon Dallas Quest Sands of Egypt Several of the Infocom games I'm sure that there were others. Again, I an trying to limit this list to actually licensed games, rather than copies or clones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they did anything for the Color Computer. Sure it isn't a clone? Is Sea Wolf the same as the old Bally arcade game? I loved that one on the Astrocade.

AtariLeaf Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Rampage and Arkanoid come to mind for the Coco 3 (both excellent) also Predator, Robocop, and Pitfall II Lets see, Thexder, Super Pitfall and Silpheed are official I believe oh and there is an official Tetris. Soko-ban I think is an official port. Lucasfilm ported Rescue on Fractalus and Koronis Lift. Epyx did Pitstop II Sierra did one of the Leisure Suit Larry games and Kings Quest III Edited January 11, 2015 by AtariLeaf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 How about Demon Attack and Dragonfire from Imagic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 How about Demon Attack and Dragonfire from Imagic? Yep those are official Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) I should have remembered Demon Attack; I actually played that one -- I never did see Dragonfire. A very similar implementation of Sea Wolf also appeared on the Model III; I never played the original arcade game. I assumed that Shamus was an original game because that was the name it was released under; it was many years later until I discovered that it was a port.

BassGuitari Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Shamus was released for other systems by Atarisoft, wasn't it? I don't think they did anything for the Color Computer. Sure it isn't a clone? N/M, it was an official Tandy release, licensed to Tandy Corp. by Synapse. Learned something new today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Didn't Tandy license Arkanoid for the CoCo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 There was also Rogue from Epyx for CoCo3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Rad Warrior is another one -- it was also on the Apple II, C64, etc. Mind Roll was multiplatform too, wasn't it? EDIT: Mickey's Space Adventure and Shanghai were also official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
