    There are a lot of useful programs that can be run from terminals that are
attached to a CoCo3.  However, there are some programs like some of the CoCo3
specific games that were never intended to be run from a terminal. Now if you
had a terminal that could in some way simulate the memory moves that it takes
to support a VDG-based game you could run it, but you'd still need some serious
mods to OS9's serial drivers so that the memory move
 commands could be sent downothe serial line.

There are are some word processors that will run from a terminal by simply
 specifying to the wordprocessor what the characteristics of the terminal are.

It's not a lie to call OS9 a multitasking / multiuser operating system.

I routinely use Dynacalc and some other programs from terminals.
