Ok, it mounted this time and plays.  I think I made a typo in the 
last URL I typed from the CoCo 3.

I'm in 2mhz/115200 bps mode so the game runs pretty fast which is 
nice.  It kinda has that Intellivision game feel to it.  Maybe I 
played the original back when I was a teen and I'm having a flashback.

I see that the color palette changes on every other level.  Is this 
CoCo 3 only?  I also see a tank in level 3.

What source code did you convert to 6809 assembler?  I'm sure there's 
quite a few coders out there that would love to hear about this project more.
