Recently on All the Adventures I featured a game (Hitch-hiker) which adapted some of the locations and puzzles from a totally different commercial game. Danger Island (for Dragon 32) does the same thing (adapting an obscure game for the Acorn Atom).

40 years ago, C&VG magazine produced a listings issue with a selection of games to type into your computer.

So many thanks to @48kRAM for this machine!
The first computer I ever used was a #Dragon32 - and the CoCo2 I have is essentially the same machine (I even ported a few things over from the Dragon a year or so back to prove it - just ROM calls and a few colo(u)rs differed!)
So I have a lot of nostalgia for the ol' green screen Dragon/Tandy beasts 
The CoCo 3 though is like a *super* Dragon 32 to me - I've wanted on for a very long time. And now it is here!
Yay! It arrived! This should be a fun little project ! #Dragon32 #retrocomputing

First thing I thought seeing this game is: "this is just *begging* for a #Dragon32 / Tandy #CoCo port!"
It's even using an almost / close equivalent of the Dragon palette 
(Hmm... I could do with making a 6809 game... 
)
I appear to have collected a lot of Dragon 32 software over the years. I think I need to get archiving!
A friend kindly sent over a bunch of early 80s microcomputer programming magazines last week - including the full 24-issue run of this: The Home Computer course from 1983.
It's a treasure box of early UK microcomputer boom excitement and techie info and makes for fascinating reading.
I like how games on computers gets pretty much an off-hand mention in a couple of sentences. Sir Clive would be pleased; much more space given to business, education, and science!

And finally, here are some screenshots of Airball on other computers.
In order: DOS (EGA), DOS (CGA), Atari 8-bit and Dragon 32/64, which is the very first version of the game! (entirely developed by Edward Scio)

More #Dragon32 #Mandelbrot sets. 6.10 precision, fixed point.
The PSU building finally begins. I have procrastinated over two years to start building these.
Some of my hoard. They await attention from my procrastination as I have new PSUs for them all. I also have a SECAM Dragon, but it's in a box behind other shite rn.
wherein I play the explosive ending to Williamsburg Adventure, which involves creative use of a cannon
also we find out the shocking revelation that the people who write the marketing copy may not have actually played the game

a new quest!
Williamsburg Adventure is based on the actual town of Williamsburg and was written by a student at William and Mary College
it involves rather more violence than expected

AnnetteAfter playing #ChuckieEgg on the #Dragon32 at The Centre for Computing History, I had to fire up @herebedragons 's* and give it another go here. Only version I can get anywhere near this far on 
* I assume like Pandas to China and Swans to HRH, all Dragon 32s belong to @herebedragons
Random memory: writing a port of the #Dragon32 game, Stone Raider II, into #Javascript
One day I'll grow out of #Mandelbrot sets...
...but not today!
You know what year it is? The Lunar New Year! Since it is 2024 it falls onto to be the Year of the Dragon!
But, you know what also has dragon in its name? The Dragon 32 and Dragon 64 home computers that were built in the 1980s by Dragon Data!
For All the Adventures I embark on a new mission, originally for the Dragon 32 (although I'm using C64) to a Forbidden City with an absolutely enormous number of deathtraps.
