COCO 2 was my first computer! Loved it. Seeing this makes me wish I still had it!

Nice work on that mod! It’s one I need to perform on a few machines too. Looking forward to hearing you on CoCoTalk tomorrow.

Now I want to go play CoCo games! Microbes is actually an awesome game. I think the key to making the 4-hand solution work is to have only 1 corpus callosum between them. Having read that same manual as a kid, I never spent much time trying to use the joysticks, but learned to play that one on the keyboard, and I got halfway decent at it. Gameplay is quite good using the keyboard controls, which are option <ENTER> in the start screen. I think you rotate with the arrow keys, fire with the space bar, thrust with 'D' (is that right?) and go 'invisible' with <CLEAR>. I guess 'invisible' equates to 'hyperspace' in the petri dish. Looking forward to CoCoTalk!

Great video :)
You two crack me up!

I have Zipsters composite mod board for my Color Computer 2 as well! It works great with my USB Composite capture module so I can record my CoCo2. :D
