Ok, so I'm old. I played this game when it was new. I also played many other clone games made for the TRS-80 CoCo. They cloned every game that was popular on Atari or Apple. Tron was called ElecTRON, Pac-man was Pec-man or something like that. Joust was "Buzzard Bait" You get the idea. None of them were really notable as they were just knock-offs of popular games that were only purchased by people who used the CoCo for gaming. After nine years as a stub there are no reliable sources attached, and it seems unlikely any could be found. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:22, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Zaxxon#Remakes and clones. I've placed the information there, but I don't have a source for it. ansh666 05:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge is quite generous but I'll go with that and add an attempt at a reference. It seems the game is almost across the edge of the observable universe but even so future historians won't find this article of much help. BTW, I'm so old I didn't play this game (Colossal Cave Adventure anyone?). Thincat (talk) 12:26, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
