Template:SHORTDESC: This list contains video games created for the TRS-80 Color Computer (commonly called the CoCo), part of the TRS-80 family of computers. Many CoCo games are compatible with or easily ported to the Dragon 32, a very similar computer.[1] There are three main models: Color Computer 1, Color Computer 2, and Color Computer 3. Some games are only compatible with a newer model. A few are "hybrid" titles that work on the CoCo 1/2 but if run on a CoCo 3 will take advantage of the 3's greater capabilities.
