[Coco] Mission Accomplished!

[Steve Bjork]

As someone that programed "a few games" on both CPUs, the main advantage 
of the 6809 over the 6502 is handling large data-types.  The other 
problem with 6502 is the limited support for Object-oriented 
programming.  6809 and 68000 series CPUs are geared for Object-oriented 
code, even in Assembly.

The 6502 does lend itself to very tight and fast code.  (Important to 
fast games.) So, most (re-coded) games will not see much (if any) 
improvement because the CPU was changed to a 6809.
