This made for great casual viewing during my lunch hour. The video played just fine from my end with no software installs or whatever.
Believe it or not, these games are in many ways better than nearly all the games I ever played on the TRS-80. Frogger looked pretty much like what I expected, and it looked like a pretty decent adaptation, but WOW, I don't think I ever heard music, much less two-part harmony, on the TRS-80 before!!! That was surprising, and I would have been amazed at the time!!
Zaxxon looked WAY better than I imagined it would! Although the graphics are obviously clunky, I was surprised that they managed to keep the smooth-scrolling 3/4 perspective! Again, this game looked like something miraculous for the TRS-80!!! I was amazed at how faithful this version of Zaxxon was!
Frogger's two part harmony, and Zaxxon's amazing (for the TRS-80) graphics would have knocked my sox off back in the day. Believe it or not, this is amazing stuff for the TRS-80.
Gotta go, but thanks for putting this up. It was great to see these games in action!
