ZONX - loading and running on a real Tandy TRS-80 Colour Computer 2. This game was a type-in published in the October 1985 issue of Rainbow magazine.
Yes, I typed this game in, those endless data statements and endless debugging... aaarrrghhh... but it was worth it as this is a pretty cool game. The music is very good also considering the limited audio capabilities of the CoCo hardware.
After completing the three screens you get bonus points and a nice bit of heavy metal music, check it out!

Please excuse the poor audio quality and jerky graphics, it actually runs very fast and smooth in reality.

  • Hey thanks for posting this. Had to make an account just to post fact I have been looking for this everywhere!

  • @jjthegreat1981 Thanks for the feedback, nice to know people end up finding these lost treasures. Did you type it in?

    I think I took a week to type in the program in any spare time I could muster after school and then another week to debug all those data statements. It was worth it though, the first time that music started I was shocked that the humble CoCo could produce real music like that. Even my C64 owning friends were a little bit impressed :-)

  • @Gerardus1970 I was 6 years old when I heard that "soundtrack" last. Heard something a few years ago day that reminded me of this but thought it was called "zonk". Naturally the search terms yielded nothing. Only yesterday I suddenly thought to look up "zonx". CLOADM definitely brings back memories, mostly confusing when I was 5-6 yrs old, but these are the good memories for me. Thanks!

  • LOL- I typed this in 2x and spent whatever time I had after school to bang away at it

  • I typed it in too... Wow. Those were the days!

  • I wish I still had all my old rainbow magazines. My step mother threw them all out on me while I was away one summer

  • The game sounds will make me crazy!!! imagine that with psychotrope drugs!!! MY GOD!!!!

  • the memories!!!
