I loved my CoCo. We had a subscription to Rainbow magazine and everything. I have many happy memories of working my way through Zork I: The Great Underground Empire, Pegasus & the Phantom Riders, Pitfall II, and The Interbank Incident as a kid, plus typing in those long-form program listings from books and magazines to literally make your own game. Those were fun. :)

I had a friend who had a CoCo 3. I and another two friends had Commodore 64s. I think he was disappointed when he got the CoCo 3, mainly because he couldn't trade games with us. The Color Computer line was around for a really long time but it always felt like Radio Shack kept it hidden away or something. Unlike Commodore and Apple, it seemed like you never heard much about it and there wasn't nearly as much third party support for some reason...
