   The Microbee in Lores mode copied the Tandy mode to a tee for both   
   character blocks and screen size.  The purpose was to allow easy porting   
   of programs due to the large program/games base the TRS-80 already had.   
     For many of the conversions, all that was needed was a change of   
   screen address.  For other a bit more.  Well thats what I can remember   
   from back in the 80's.  These games were never commercially available,   
   just converted by a few enthusiasts.   
      
   A couple are available from the MBUG collection on the Walnut Creek CD,   
   particularly MUG #147 for Apple Panic, Robot Attack, Tandy Robot and   
   Armoured Patrol.  They run well under the ubee512 emulator if you dont   
   have access to a real 'bee.
