C>  Also, recall MegaBug - did it come before or after the Apple II
C>and other games that were very similar?

     Steve Bjork wrote Megabug thru DataSoft back in the early 80's.  Tandy
had contracted out to DataSoft many of the 'classic' CoCo games.  The version

on the Apple ][ series came first, as I recall (I was selling computers at an
Apple Dealership at around the same time) and it was called 'Dung Beetles',
which the prude Texans in Fort Worth made DataSoft and Steve change to Megabug
(W E  G O T C H A !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
