To continue:
I found Canyon Climber on disk and tested it with MESS 0.148.

CC needs to be LOADMed and then EXECed to start. It will not work with Coco3 
emulation on any MESS version I've tried. It works perfectly with MESS 0.148 
when the emulation is cocoe, coco2, or coco2b.

Pete, you had better make sure if games can work on a Coco3 as many old games 
will not.
