First Ever Shot of Sword and Sorceror

It only took a few hours to find someone, but #RGVC’s Kevtris came through on the Coleco ROM problem. I have posted another Zip file here, which includes playable forms of the Coleco ROMs I found, all stitched up. The Dragon 80 game has a broken select screen, but the game works, I’m told. I [...]
