[Coco] Has anyone done an Angry Birds port on the CoCo?

[Bill Loguidice]

I've been casually following the discussions on doing Angry Birds on the
C-64 and Atari 8-bit, and the hold up is always the physics. The homebrew
for the 16-bit Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, while admirably done, lacks the
life/energy of the modern day versions as well:

certainly points to the difficulty creating something close on less
powerful platforms. I agree that instead energy could be put into a good
artillery style game, which even the most modest 8-bit systems could excel
at and which Angry Birds is just a modern variation of anyway.
