I had a Tandy Color Computer 2 back in the mid '80s, my first computer. I learned BASIC from the included users manual, since without that skill, straight out of the box there wasn't much else I could do with it! I used this computer for years and years, and somewhere in a box, I think I still have it in working order (last time I powered it up).
I ran across this webpage, showing off several things that have been accomplished on the 'CoCo' hardware. Pretty impressive stuff, note there are a few links to demo clips on YouTube on this site as well.
