![]() The new MSX standard was coming out, and I liked the hardware architecture. I had to find a computer that was still in its infancy, yet had the potential to become a big seller. ![]() The Commodore 64 and Atari 800 computers appealed to me with their graphics and sound capabilities, but I knew it would be some time before I could create games that could compete with what was becoming available. I was quite comfortable with the TRS-80 with its easy to use blocky monochrome graphics and powerful Z-80 CPU, but all good things must end, so I began to look around at what was available. I had to update to a new market, but a sense of fear and uncertainty fell upon me. Neutroid 2 (1984, TRS-80 Color Computer)I finally decided that it was time to leave the TRS-80 Model I and move into the world of high resolution color graphics. If you haven't read part I yet, we highly recommend you do so now!

The games for the Color Computer 3 do not run correctly on any emulator except MESS. While additional ROM/image files are not provided here, please note that none of the Color Computer emulators presently run Neutroid 2 correctly because they don't support the semigraphic video mode that that game uses. Click the following system name for the required TRS-80 Model I and Model III system ROMs. The emulator is almost 100% faithful to a real TRS-80, save for a small issue with timing where the title pages for these games seem to stay up for too short a time. These features are not needed to run these games. The emulator is shareware and payment provides extra features such as hard drive and high resolution graphics support. According to the author, presently, the best emulator to run these files is called TRS32, which is for Windows. ![]() Special Thanks: Matthew Reed of the TRS-80 Emulator Web SiteĬomments: Visit the author's Website or send an e-mail to Notes: Game ROM/image files have been provided within the article for four TRS-80 Model I programs.
