Neither did I!  I was really into text adventures in those days, and I
spent weeks with Raaka.  I finally gave up.

A couple of years later a teacher at my school asked me about it.  She
said she got so frustrated with it that she finally called Radio
Shack's techical support line.  The person on the other end told her
that to solve it she had to gather all the treasures, exit the temple,
go north 4 times, then west 4 times.  Oh yeah--why didn't I think of
that?  (sarcasm mode off).

She tried it, but that didn't work either.

I think the game was designed to be unsolvable.

Does anyone happen to know what language it was written it?
