CoCo in the Movies
The CoCo ended up in some movies back in the day, and I bet you don’t even remember. This is a work in progress with more clips added as they are found.
Here’s a few clips to remind you of when you were a Nerd long before anybody else in the world accepted personal computers to be normal.
The first part of the video appears to feature Steve Bjork’s version of Zaxxon, although this is not comfirmed yet. I just loaded that game up and it looks like a match.
I just found a CoCo 1 in David Addison office, but it’s just in the pilot episode.
You can get a glimpse of it a few times, when he’s there with Maddie Hayes.
If you don’t know what show I’m talking about, you did not own a TV in the 80′s! (Or used it just for your CoCo
)
I was glued to the tube back then and I don’t recall that name. Help me out here.
By the way, I see a TRS-80 model (?) in the Swamp Thing movie, but no CoCo yet. Maybe I’m overlooking something. Someone mentioned in this forum that there was a CoCo in that movie.
Moonlighting?
Yeap, Moonlighting is right.
As for TRS-80, in Remington Steele, Mildred loved her Model III. I do believe that they didn’t get it after the show had already been on for a few seasons
At around 37 seconds in the clip, you can see Bjork’s Audio Spectrum Analyzer cartridge on the TV in the background of the movie “Revenge of the Nerds”:

I had this cartridge as a kid, and it looked exactly like what’s in the movie.
There was a “Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise”. It was a total waist of 2 hours of my life. Big time letdown after the classic.
