Game port idea: Doubleback (Tandy CoCo)

[palmheads]

Was looking at potential game port ideas that could fit into the 4K mini memory (ie like the original Gridrunner for the Vic 20 - 3.5k).

 

Lots of people rave about Doubleback for the Coco.

 

 

Its about 4k (6809), looks like a simple game with surprising depth.

 

Anyone have any memories of playing it?

Never played it (we never expanded our CoCo3 past the connection to the TV) but it does look fun and challenging.

It's a fun game, but definitely easier to play with analog joysticks

Looks cool, it even has an Omega reference!

I think the docs refer to those as horseshoes

Very original for sure. I think the trickiest part will be to come up with a compact and efficient routine to check for objects inside a closed loop.

Looks like something that might be fun with a Koala pad or Super Sketch.
