...hey! I remember that game. In fact, I probably still have it in my box
of TRS-80 CoCo stuff. It was, however, called "Raaka Tu".

I remember being frustrated for a LONG time about getting past the guards
that were marching around the temple. I do remember finishing it, but
don't remember much about what happened. I seem to remember that the end
was a very blatant rip-off/homage to "Infidel".

Ah, the days of those Tandy adventure games! Most of them on the CoCo
were programmed by the same guy, but damned if I can remember his name.
Let's see... "Raaka Tu", "Pyramid 2000" (cross between Scott Adams'
_Pyramid_ and _Infidel_), "Bedlam" (which frustrated me for a LONG TIME,
but had some very neat bits!), "Lucifer's Realm" (I *really* would like a
copy of this for a PC)...
