This is Dragon-80. It’s a very playable Colecovision action game. There’s sword swinging and jumping and falling floor tiles. But the loading screen is broken and says nothing. There’s no way I can tell to find out what game this really was supposed to be. Unfortunately, The Sword and the Sorcerer looks to be a [...]
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 [...]
