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.

This is, by my reckoning, the first "official" translation of an adventure game, possibly of any computer game.

The French version of Mystery House, original by Roberta Williams, translation by Tom Nalevanko.

I give a full history of how the translation happened.

perhaps the hardest TRS-80 game I've ever played

Some year ago i was able toplay Enchanter. And i remember clearly two moments.First, when you ecunter a very particular character (no spoilers)...and whe you use the NITFOL spell to understand animals at the frog pond.

Those lines are pure gold.
