[Coco] Re: NEW GAMES (kinda sorta) FOR THE COCO 3!!!!

[Charlie]

Well if its possible I'd love that.:-)

I really wanted to start up KQ1 on my coco tonight. I went to start my win98 
computer to make the floppy disks and
it wouldn't boot. So I build ANOTHER system from spare parts that supports a 
360K floppy drive. I installed win98 but it will not be until tomorrow that 
all the drivers are in and I can get the 2 KQ1 disks made.... I'm really 
looking forward to it!
