2/21/2023 0 Comments Omnia ultima iiiAfter reading your comment, I decided to try Googling some mis-spellings. I noted a lot of mis-spellings too, but I figured that any page seriously dedicated to the game would spell it right at least ONCE. The name is often-misspelled, so what little I've found has been significantly augmented via searches on "tharrogad" and "tharogad". It wouldn't surprise me at all if the DELPHI BBS archives had something, but they don't seem to be available online at the moment. I was able to find one post in a newsgroup from someone who'd beaten it and had a comment about the ending, but offered no details toward a solution. I hope someone pipes up with information about how to beat this one. The CoCo 3 is a fairly capable little machine in the right hands - it can pull off an arcade-perfect port of Donkey Kong - but Tharoggad was a terrible ambassador for it. and I think you're probably right about Tandy's boneheaded reasoning, but with the important addition that it was the new graphics modes exclusive to the Color Computer 3 that they hoped to showcase.īefore that, the Color Computer (both the original model and the essentially-identical CoCo 2) could only do a lo-res 4-color mode or a hi-res mode with red/blue artifact colors, sort of like the Apple II but not as good. Tandy's reasoning seems to have been, "We're marketing this game for the Color Computer! It must have lots of colors!" I agree, the graphics are just hideous.īut yes, the color graphics were the second mistake. I had no idea Tharoggad's level design was this sadistic.
