I first used the native built-in ""Extended Basic" environment.. but then eventually moved to running microware's OS-9 on it. And thus, my true forrays into programmer started (at around age 16).
Turns out, i was a prolific little... fellow. As I was reminded, by
this
page. My online identity on Delphi (before internet was common/cheap),
was THEFERRET (hence the website mascot!)
(Holey moley! "Delphi Forums CoCo SIG" still exists, in 2021!)
I also had a programming article published, in the now defunct "Rainbow Magazine"(named because of the "Color Computer", not because of any other social type of leaning)
Hey, someone archived Rainbow in text-searchable format! I found some things with my name on em. The issue with the most mentions of me, seems to be: the Oct 1992 issue.
but my real claim to fame was my full article, published in the
May 1989 issue.
A word of warning: it is incredibly technical, and is guaranteed to lose anyone
who has not been indoctrinated into the innards of the CoCo, OS9, and other black magics.
I found this nice youtube montage of some of the top games for the old system. I played many of them as a young lad,and found this very nostalgic :)

And then this site seems to have reviewed almost every CoCo game ever made:
