Definitely. The bit with the snow/river is a coco. There's a really good 
shot from above showing the joystick and the keyboard and later there's

Long before this video went viral, I have wanted to know the name of the educational software that the two kids are using on the CoCo, starting at about the 1:25 mark. It is the program where the one kid says to the other "that's snow...don't put it on the river." :)
