Klendathu is an original game based on Robert Heinlein's book Starship Troopers (which was also a movie fairly recently). In it, you are earning money by destroying the bugs with a torch. The author of the game, Leo Christopherson, was very famous in the TRS-80 Model I/II/III world for doing extremely detailed animation in his programs (some famous ones include the original Dancing Demon, and Ride of the Valkyries. This game was his first (and as far as I know, last) game for the Coco, which used a different CPU than he was used to (6809 vs. Z80). The game itself is a little strange for arcade quality games at the time... it was partly written in BASIC, with a large ML routine embedded into it.
