jhd Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Many years ago (ca. 1986), I played a graphic adventure game on the Coco. Alas, I do not remember the name. It had 3D graphics, and it was real-time; the premise was that the player had to initially escape from a prison cell on a space ship. There was probably a larger goal, but I never found it. It was extremely difficult as there were enemies pursuing the player (who, initially, had no weapons). I never made it very far before getting killed, and I eventually abandoned the game in frustration. This was a commercial release on cassette, not something written in BASIC.

+nanochess Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The closest I've found could be Trekboer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Kline Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The game is called Escape 2012. Released by Computerware in 1985. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Wow! Thank-you for the response. Now that I know the name, I can chase-down a copy. It was not Trekboer, but thanks for the suggestion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Kline Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) This may surprise you... The game and documentation are available for download at the Color Computer Archive. http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/search?q=escape+2012&ww=0&cat=&cs=0 Edited January 11, 2020 by Michael Kline Grammatical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 On a related note the Wikipedia CoCo's page doesn't contain the two games mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
