Welcome to the CoCo Show 63! Join THE BRENT and Amigo Aaron this week we look at another game from across the pond, in Cornwall no less! It's Wizard's Quest for the Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer and Dragon 32 Computer! WE SWEAR IT'S NOT ATIC ATAC!

Get your motor running... head out on the... rollercoaster? Get ready to floor the accelerator and hang on to the wheel as you race your kart up, down, and all around the hilly, windy courses in this week's game... POWER DRIFT!

On this week's Amigos, we review Fright Night on the Amiga, a toothless and poorly designed movie tie-in that sucks the life out of its source material with clunky controls and gameplay that is (un)dead on arrival.🏆 Support our wacky, weekly Amiga podcast!https://www.patreon.com/amigospodcastSubscribe to the podcast version of the show at https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amigospodcast0:00 What do you do when you get scared?5:00 Movie Credits11:30 Game Development15:36 Boat's Take24:00 How vampiring works30:50 Community Reviews32:45 Aaron's Take35:09 Amiga Scene News53:58 Coming Up Next Week!#Amiga #Retrocomputing
