Holy crap that is awesome! CoCo 2 was my first system back in '83 and I used to love that game. Now we just need Dungeons of Daggorath PCE port :D

Interesting. I've never heard of it, though, when I first read the title of your thread, I thought it said Download. I was thinking.....why a remake of Download...better graphics & music? :D Anyhoo, so, what I gather, is that this will be like a port of the original game, rather then a graphical upgraded version?

Rofl! I thought I read that too! :lol:
Me three. But I remember this game. My cousin had it on his Tandy. I want to play it again.

Neato! I don't remember this game, but the youtube link makes it look pretty entertaining. Keep up the excellent work master Covell; I look forward to playing this bad boy, perhaps as an unlockable bonus on Tongueman's Logic. :pray:

I had downland! I'm guessing you're not going to make the controls analogue though? (*shudders* remembering the black analogue coco joysticks.)

I read Download as well :-k
After seeing Downland on Youtube though, I have realized that if that thing in the bottom right is a timer, afterwhich it empties, you die. It would be nice if your version had an easy setting where the timer just stays locked at 1 or something.
I can't wait to see version 9 screenshots once you get all the new Parallax background effects working. 8)
