That is very true! I have been working just in the CoCo 1 mode (PMODEs instead of HMODEs or whatever it is on the CoCo 3).

I remember really diving in to Super Extended Color BASIC when I first got my CoCo 3, and did some graphics titles and such for my father’s fishing videos.

But now most of that has been forgotten. I wonder if HPRINT is fast enough to do such a game on those screens.
