update-
I had a Tandy TRS-80 Coco 2 as the Coco 3 had a RGB output.TRS-80 video color saturation was always a bit too high. the sharpness is poor because of the TV rf modulator.
to get good video out of a TRS-80 color computer you need to tap video,
like Dave did in the video, or mod it for a RGB output.
the color palette is truly trouble. its only
4 colors at a time, the color combinations are also trouble.
its the horrible NTSC color palette. this is no C64.
I have used a white model 64k TRS-80 its the same but better keyboard too. but the same trouble color palette.
had a TRS-80 assembler cartridge but moved on to other, so never made a game with it. only stick figure animations.
TRS-80 uses special character blocks to make its not so high definition graphics.
in B&W two color mode, you can bleed the colors for a rainbow FX by checkerboarding the ALT key character blocks.
also to note that the floppy drives in the 80s was so expensive
same gos for the C64 floppy drives. color palette matters in a game.
the TRS-80 colors truly suck in PAL video. I still own the old white model TRS-80 cassette deck from the 80's
