David Ladd explained a 6809 emulation bug he discovered that's being addressed and showed us how to create PMODE 4 image using MS Paint in Windows and converting it to work on the CoCo. Boisy Pitre gave us an update on the DriveWire server for Mac he's working on. John Linville showed off a cool joystick adapter for the Alice computer, French cousin of the MC-10 And we heard updates from just about everybody on the panel as far as what they are working on, and had a lot of random chat, and a few laughs.

Today Grant Leighty takes over as both the live stream host and the show host for episode 34.

Episode 32 - Forest of Doom Launch Party
Only the bravest souls enter, only the most cunning return! Defeat innumerable monsters to ransom the king’s scepter, stolen by the evil wizard and kept deep in the Forest of Doom. Your sword, shield and wits are your only allies – pray you find a magical Inn as your only respite! Forest of Doom is a Role Playing Adventure Game for the Tandy Color Computer 1, 2, and 3. Created by D. Bruce More in roughly 1982 for a 4K CooCo 1 with standard Color BASIC, Bruce put this game to the side when get got a 16K CoCo 2 and started writing games in Extended Color BASIC, and eventually sold 5 games that were published by T&D Software as games on cassette, party of a monthly subscription software service. This game was lost and forgotten for almost 30 years, when in 2016, Bruce's brother got him a CoCo 2 from a thrift store, and to his surprise, Bruce found some of original cassette tapes, and, the original version of Forest of Doom. It's been a labor of love updating and enhancing this game to now run on a 32K CoCo requiring a disk drive and Extended BASIC,. We'll hear about Bruce's early beginnings, all the way up to the process of completing Forest of Doom in 2017. We'll see an exclusive first look at an extended video trailer, and see the world premier of what the game actually looks like.

Episode 31 - Rainbow Revival
In episode 31 of CoCoTALK! we'll discuss the buzz this week that's been going on in Facebook at the possibility of a modern version of the Rainbow Magazine, which was "the institution" of tech magazines for the Color Computer. Ron Delvaux has been busy creating not only mock covers, but will have a 20+ digital version of what the magazine could look like. We have set up a website for an on-line version of the magazine which is http://therainbow.online and we'll hear people's opinion and suggestions on what a new Rainbow should be, seeing as there is already a monthly podcast and a weekly live talk show, it wouldn't be the place to get breaking news, but it could serve a nice periodical to document things that have happened, quarterly, bi-annually, or even a year-end review. Weigh in with your thoughts, opinions and suggestions. On the call: Barry Nelson, Bruce More, Curtis Boyle, David Ladd, Grant Leighty, Jay Searle, John Linville, Mark Overholser, Nick Marentes, Richard Lorbieski, Rick Adams, Steve Batson, Ron Delvaux, Wayne Campbell CoCoTALK! airs live, right here on YouTube each and every Saturday at 2:00 PM EDT!
