2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.
Diecom Products
Diecom Products was a CoCo software publishing company based in Milton, Ontario, Canada during the mid to late 1980's. It was best known for its unsanctioned ports and clones of popular arcade titles, and for being one of the first companies to publish both 64K games on the Coco 1/2, and Coco 3 games. Other notable Diecom products were the RAT graphics package (which included a PC mouse adapter), and two games that used the Sega Laser light gun (which included an adapter for the gun).
