[Coco] CoCo 3 Z-89 and the CoCoSDC

[Brian Blake]

Kip,

Z-89 is a game by Bjork that was meant to be Zaxxon on the CoCo 3. It 
has good graphics and decent sound, but, I'm not a big fan of it. The 
big issue I have with it is when you press the fire button on the 
joystick, all game animation momentarily stops, kinda making it look 
like stop motion animation. I've played many other games on the CoCo and 
CoCo 3 that do not do this, and I found it very annoying.
