Rescue on Alpha II is a BASIC type-in game, winner of The Rainbow Adventure Contest, and published in the December 1984 issue of The Rainbow magazine. It is a very memory-intensive game, supposedly requiring 32K. In trying to run this on CoCo3 in MAME, I found it couldn't run with the floppy disk controller plugged in, so I tried running it from a cassette image. I had more luck this way, but still get the dreaded ?OM ERROR after exploring only a couple of locations.
There is a "fixed" version on the CCA... https://colorcomputerarchive.com/ I don't know if that will solve your issues with the game.
