Mocha CoCo II emulator

Color Computer II Emulator (Mocha) … check-out early 1980’s computing

The first computer our family owned was a Color Computer II by Radio Shack.  It used the TV for a monitor, had 16K of memory, and could save and load programs from cassette tape.  It also had cartridge games.  We had Popcorn and Stellar Lifeline.  I spent many hours typing programs from Rainbow magazine.  The computer only used UPPER CASE letters.  Programs were written in BASIC using line numbers.  You had to type “RUN” to execute a program.  You typed “LIST” to see your programming statements.

There is a great on-line emulator called Mocha.  It even  includes many of the games that were available.
