D of D probably would get my all-time vote.  Certainly my son's.
I think that was borrowed from Apple-land, going by the 4 text
lines at the bottom.

Together we put on a LOT of dead Marios on Donkey King.

I myself played a lot of Marble Maze and Tetris (RatShack cart).

How come nobody's mentioned Klendathu yet?  My son and I used to
team up and flame the ants for hours.  Good cooperation game (two
of us against the computer).  Wait'll you have kids, you'll get
into this idea.  Damned good animation for a Coco 1|2.

L.S. Larry was a blast, even tho I never made it out of the bar
property.  Someone told me how to get the cabs to wait for you,
but that was after I forgot everything else...

Sub Battle would've been great if you could get anywhere in it.

Dino Wars?  With all the J.Park stuff, I've been tempted to dig it
out.  You have to admit, no other home computer till recently had
those sampled sounds.  RAAAWWWWUUUUUUUU!

Mega-Bug was lotsa fun for a while.  Zaxxon's joystick response
was too clunky to feel right.

'Course all I play on my Coco3 these days is Variations of
Solitaire.  Great during those loooong compiles... mike k
