I just picked up a new Color Computer hardware emulator to go along with my various software emulators. As seen here:
This new one only does Color Computer programs since it is hardware emulation.
So far, it is pretty great.
Currently copying over files, including my BARD AD&D Combat Emulator. And I even have some characters ready to go.
Yes, that is Larina and Johan up there. Larina is a 5th-level witch/1st-level wizard in 1991.
I can't help but think she looks like this.
Which means a Jackson, IL video game would look like this!
You can almost hear the 8-bit music for them as they walk!
Any of those images takes up more memory than the Color Computer 3 originally had! 128k out of the box, 512k upgradable and 2meg with after market upgrades.
Thinking of gutting my other CoCo Pi 4 and putting this little machine in as its new brain. I don't really need another Linux-running Pi machine when I have my TRS-80 Pi. Plus I can put some of the hardware into my TRS-80. I'll have to 3D print some new things for them both, and get some different hardware bits, but it could be fun. A Color Computer case that runs a hardware-emulated Color Computer 3.
I should start writing ALL my Jackson, IL posts on it!
