     Hmmm, I really can't tell you any more; it has just been too long.  I
recall the fix involving getting the CoCo III to drop into an earlier
version of Basic before running the game.  I probably got around to
hacking the P-51 code to fire right up, but all of that is lost to the past.

     I had all sorts of game hacking fun back then!  Color and higher
speed for Pit Stop II, Meteors, Zaxxon, Donky_King (you can go a long ways
w/ 255 lives :), etc.  My most famous one though, was adding Joystick
support for Chess.  What's this you say?  It already had joystick support?
They all had a big laugh at me at the club for that one...
