Cool site. Impressive compilation of material!
 
I'm fine with you putting up all of my old Color Computer games for
download. In fact, I'll probably download a few of them myself since I no
longer have copies of most of them.
 
Seems like you have most of my games listed on your site. Let's see if I can
recall all the games I worked on:
Bugs (this was the first - I would love to get a version of this
running in an emulator!)
Bugs II
Bouncing Boulders
Gates of Delirium
Gantelet II
Lansford Mansion
 
Any of these that you can't locate I may be able to track down binaries or
even source (Gates is multi disk and copy protected - might be the only way
to get it running again).
 
Nice to see that these games have survived all these years....
 
Also, I'm sorry to say that Dave Shewchun passed away a number of years ago.
Personally, I think it's great that his games live on.

     I run a TRS-80 Color Computer games site  
(http://nitros9.stg.net/coco_game_list.html), and have been trying to find  
the original authors of the games for a few reasons:
1) to get further (or corrected) information on the games, and
2) to see if they would mind me putting there software up for download.  
And, if they are willing, and still have copies of the games themselves,  
to put up "clean" versions (no "cracked by ..." stuff).
 
    Dave Dies has given permission for his games (some of which you were a  
co-author), but you (and Dave Shewchun) had several others on your own.  
And some I have never seen (like Bugs II). Would you be willing to have  
some/all of your games available for download, to run either on real  
Coco's, or on one of the several emulators available? What all games did  
you contribute to?
