This was such a cool idea, and so cool to see those paddles in action! Now you can play Super Bustout like a boss.

Believe it or not, the TRS-80 CoCo started as an agricultural industry information terminal called Videotex by a US university.

What is that display you are using? how is that connected?

the things that made me smile the most is when you went to page 133 and said it! I've got Irish in my family but we are so far removed from it no one speaks that way... I'm fact we talk like Western cowboys mostly .. what were your thoughts on MJFox's Irish accent on back to the future 3?

Add the double speed POKE (POKE 65495, 0) and your BASIC program should keep up to your drawing a bit better. :)
