Next on All the Adventures, one of the buggiest published games I've ever come across, from the tapemag Chromasette

I’ve been a digital artist since 1984. While the world was learning to use a mouse, I was using a Koala Pad on a Tandy Color Computer.I had a front-row seat to the future because my grandmother worked at Fairchild Semiconductor—the company that birthed Silicon Valley.In this video, I look at how 80s 'toys' predicted the iPad workflow 20 years early. I even found some of my original pixel art from back then!#DigitalArt #RetroComputing #TandyCoCo #FairchildSemiconductor

I noticed that not all games were loading correctly on my Dragon 32 computer when using the BackBit cartridge.

I opened up the computer and saw that it was generally clean, except for one exploded cap. Yikes!

This computer needs a recap then.

does anyone that I’m connected to #repair old TRS-80 Color Computers (or is connected to anyone who does) & is based even vaguely anywhere near #Canberra? (or within plausible shipping distance)

I wish to exchange $$ for goods & services to put the #MagicBlueSmoke back into my beloved old #CoCo1… 😢

All the Adventures reaches The Final Countdown

in which I stop a general from destroying the world

and also give some history of voice sound synthesis

The Final Countdown (1982/1983)

(This continues, more or less, from my previous post.) In 1974, Donald Sherman ordered a pizza on the phone, making history. Not that it was the first delivery pizza ordered by phone — pizza …

1983 finally begins at All the Adventures as I visit a game inspired by the 1970s disaster classic The Poseidon Adventure.

Includes a history of the community behind the Tandy CoCo as well as some thoughts on women in adventure game history.

S. S. Poseidon (1982/1983)

By 1980 in the United States, the TRS-80 had still vastly outsold the Apple II, with 200,000 units to 35,000. The Apple II was the outlier expensive machine while TRS-80 was “for the people&#…

CoCoFEST! 2025 reveals NitrOS-9 progress on Foenix F256, with system demos, BASIC09 upgrades, and dev tools that make it shine.

The Oasis BBS

in which I "finish" Easy mode on Keys of the Wizard

and observe how the cut game mechanics undercut some of the more interesting aspects of the adventure-roguelike style

Keys of the Wizard: Gaps

(My previous posts on this game are needed for context.) I think I’ve squeezed most of the juice out of Easy difficulty level, even though I haven’t finished; I’m going to try upp…

Keys of the Wizard: Total Exhaustion

Thanks to L. Curtis Boyle and Rob in the comments, I now have the “box” art and manual for the earlier (Spectral Associates) version of the game. It looks like the manual is nearly iden…
