The Missing People (1982) was technically "published", but it only sold one copy. It was rescued quite recently by the author from an old disk. I give the history behind the author (who I was able to interview) and play through the game.

Dreamed I was sneaking into an office at night, to play on a tiny terminal, the TRS-80 game RAAKA-TU. But the solution I know didn't work, and every time I died in the game, I died & restarted the office run.
How do I get out?

Four years ago I wrote about a TRS-80 game from a (probably) Scottish author that had character-text errors that made it unplayable. The game is now repaired for the first time, and I play it through and discuss its context as a "learning" game.

Is it the most absolutely beautiful, tasteful, and elegant syntax highlighting theme in the world? Possibly not.
But does it make it really, really, obvious whether or not you remembered to close that set of curly brackets, and which lines of the conditional block are the conditions and which are the content? We think so. Hopefully you agree!
