Rick Adams created this game in 1984 and sent it to Tandy who turned it down (odd, since he already had two commercial hits with them) so it was unreleased and lost in the sands of time.

The original source code is lost, but recently, a VHS tape was unearthed with the game played on it, that video was posted to Facebook and YouTube.

Recently Rick has taken to recreating the game from scratch, and he's been working on an emulator. This is the first time the game is being played on a real CoCo.

What we are seeing is a work in progress playable demo, and a bonus bug, or "feature" was discovered much to Rick's amusement!
