Absolutely, you could develop all kinds of games. You are not limited to 
adventure games. It is possible to develop action games using this engine 
but unfortunately I think it would be too slow for the coco.

Do you know you can change the speed of the game by accessing the menu 
(Control-Break)? You can also set the fastest speed by typing "fastest" on 
the command line. This is true for almost all AGI games.

Maybe you should try with another walkthrough. I have put my coco 
walkthroughts online at:

Good luck!
