There's a 'new' shareware CoCo3 game out!!! It is called Cosmic Ambush!
It really is about a year old, but the first American download of this game
came last month in Santa Ana, CA on Andromeda BBS. (714)545-5156 12/2400 BPS
Cosmic Ambush is written by the Australian Nickolas Martentes who wrote
Rupert Rhythm. It is his last game for the Tandy CoCo3. He has since gone to
Amiga. This is shareware. It came UUencoded from Australia to Larry
Greenfield here in Orange County. He used RS-DOS Cuts to reassemble it and
then used The Compressor to make an ARChive. I used UnTC to expand it and
then saved the files for the game on an RS-DOS diskette.
The play is smooth and the graphics are great. It reminds me of the game
Xenos in the arcades. Larry was able to make over 13,000 points... me a few
thousand... a really tough game!!!
I am not able to xfer it to a FTP site with the accounts I have at this
point. Xfers of this archive are available at CoCo Exchange BBS, Andromeda,
CoCo Users Group, and Cassi's Corners to name a few. This is a great game!
