DiRoccoVision Software

Players select categories, answer trivia questions and compete to capture squares on the familiar nine-space game board, trying to complete three X’s or O’s in a row. Win the game and advance to the exciting Beat the Dragon bonus round, where choosing the right squares can lead to a big payoff—or an encounter with the Dragon. Originally announced by Coleco for the ADAM but never released, this 2026 DiRoccoVision production recreates the missing title using Coleco’s original ADAM game-show software architecture as its technical foundation. The game features computer opponents, keyboard answer entry with flexible answer matching, a large question library, persistent game data and support for additional question packs—bringing one of ADAM’s long-lost announced titles to life.

Best of Sierra On-Line was announced by Coleco for the ADAM computer but never commercially released. The planned compilation brought together two Sierra On-Line games—Troll's Tale and Jawbreaker II—on a single Data Pack or disk. This 2026 preservation reconstruction recreates that lost release using surviving period software, original game code, and the presentation conventions of Coleco's released Best of compilations. The title screen, game-selection menu, individual game cards, loading sequence, and transitions were reconstructed to create a historically plausible version of what the announced product could have been. Troll's Tale sends the player in search of 16 treasures stolen from the Dwarf King while avoiding the wicked troll. Jawbreaker II is a fast-paced candy-shop maze game in which the player collects treats, avoids enemies, and grabs a toothbrush when it's time to clean up. The reconstruction preserves the original gameplay while restoring the compilation experience around it. Jawbreaker II also includes reconstructed stock ColecoVision/ADAM sound based on audio found in other Jawbreaker II code lineage. The completed release has been tested on original ADAM hardware and is available in Digital Data Pack, 5¼-inch Disk editions

# Cranston Manor **Coleco ADAM Super Game Pack | Adventure | In Development** ### The Lost Coleco Adventure Returns! In 1983, Coleco announced *Cranston Manor* as part of its ambitious lineup of Adventure Super Game Packs for the ADAM Family Computer System. Originally developed by Sierra On-Line for the Apple II, this mysterious graphical adventure was assigned Coleco product number **7703** and promoted as an enhanced adventure for the ADAM. Unfortunately, the game never received a confirmed commercial release. Now, more than four decades later, we're working to bring this forgotten Coleco title to life! ### Enter Cranston Manor... If You Dare! Old man Cranston was one of the wealthiest—and greediest—men who ever lived. Determined that nobody would inherit his fortune, he concealed 16 valuable treasures throughout his sprawling estate. Your mission is to enter the mysterious manor, explore its many rooms, navigate dangerous underground passages, solve challenging puzzles, and recover the hidden treasures. But Cranston Manor is no ordinary mansion. Strange creatures, mysterious characters, hidden passages, and unexpected dangers await those brave enough to venture inside. ### Reimagined for the Coleco ADAM Our goal is to recreate *Cranston Manor* as the Super Game Pack Coleco might have delivered in 1984. Using the original Sierra adventure as our foundation, we're developing a native ADAM version that preserves the game's recognizable locations, artwork, puzzles, and atmosphere while taking full advantage of the computer's capabilities. **Planned features include:** - Faithful reconstruction of the original Sierra graphical adventure. - Enhanced, full-color graphics optimized for the Coleco ADAM. - Exploration of the original manor, grounds, caves, and underground locations. - The original adventure's puzzles, objects, and 16 hidden treasures, subject to verification against the original program. - Full ADAM keyboard support, including SmartKey shortcuts. - Optional joystick and controller keypad navigation. - Save and restore functionality. - Planned disk and Digital Data Pack editions, subject to technical feasibility. - Authentic Coleco-era Super Game Pack presentation. ### A Piece of Coleco History Unlike many modern homebrew games, *Cranston Manor* has a genuine connection to Coleco's original software plans. The game appeared in Coleco's 1983 ADAM promotional literature as **Adventure Super Game Pack #7703**, and surviving packaging imagery shows how Coleco intended to present the title. Our reconstruction draws upon that historical material, along with the original Apple II adventure, to create a version that feels at home alongside Coleco's classic ADAM software. **Development Status:** Research completed; technical reconstruction and graphics development underway. *Cranston Manor is an independently developed historical reconstruction project, not an original unreleased Coleco program or recovered Coleco prototype.*
