grrraall, It is a different game altogether. It just wasn't finished. It was abandoned and shelved like a lot of Coleco's (and Atari's and Intellivision and all the companies that made games for those systems) games were put to rest right before and during the so-called Video Game Crash of '84. Many games appeared in company catalogs and promised at trade shows and so on that never got past the development or prototype stage. Just as many never had a single line of code written.

Yep. Pity. Someone should make a new one. It could be fun. If the clone ever comes to light, I could pull out my visual studio and make legal [albeit crappy-looking] Windows game. I'm a bit rusty with my C++ though, but I use to make some indie games some years ago.

coding DARO can become pretty nightmarish...

It wouldn't go on forever. A simple while loop would handle it, and on these generations of computers, it would compute a thousand DARO rolls in a row in a split second. As if anyone were that lucky though LOL!
