My family's first computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer 2. We later acquired a CoCo 3. I've had some luck in getting game identification questions answered on the Science Fiction and Fantasy Stack Exchange, but this one seems to have stumped people. I suspect that part of the problem is that, based on my memories of being able to access the game's BASIC source code, it was likely a hobby program one of my siblings inputted, possibly from Rainbow magazine. In general, SE disapproves of cross-posting, but this is an older question, and I suspect that this group is more likely to recognize it, since they might have inputted the source code themselves.

So, would it be alright for me to cross-post this question?

I don't see why not.

We have a number of identify-this- tags, so the subject is on-topic. Whether the community here is any better at getting an answer remains to be seen, but it is worth a try.

    Make sure to keep both questions up to date, though. (Have each link to the other at least in the comments; if one gets answered correctly, consider self-answering the other; etc.) Commented Nov 11, 2021 at 17:22
  • @wizzwizz4 maybe close the unanswered one as a duplicate of the answered one? so no info-duplications? Commented Nov 15, 2021 at 13:58

    Generally speaking cross-posts are frowned upon on SE, so it seems to me it would be better to close the other one. Commented Nov 15, 2021 at 16:22
  • @VScode_fanboy We can't (yet) close questions as cross-site duplicates. Technically the software supports it via old-style duplicates, but you need to be a high-rep user / moderator to make those, and even then the website's UI doesn't let you. Regular closure might make sense, though? I'm not sure what close reason you'd use. Commented Nov 15, 2021 at 17:24
  • @wizzwizz4 I haven't saw a question being closed as a duplicate in another site, but a bug report (a question tagged with [bug]) being posted in Meta.SE and Meta.SO, only a answer was posted on the Meta.SE one and a link to that answer was posted in them Meta.SO post, to avoid information duplication.

  • @VScode_fanboy Oh, yeah, that's what I meant. A link, plus enough of a quotation to stop it being a link-only answer (so people don't have to follow the link to get the answer to the question). Commented Nov 16, 2021 at 8:35
  • @wizzwizz4 exactly. Commented Nov 16, 2021 at 12:27
