I've seen the software on ebay... usually at outrageous prices (considering the
current CoCo market). You probably haven't seen the game Chris Spry is working
on, using CBASIC III I believe. He posted a link a little while back...

Even if he stopped coding it today, I'm already impressed!

BTW, Chris (if you read this) Didn't I read that you were building a CoCo based
pinball machine? Or wanted too?
