Reminds me of a game called "Larn".. anybody remember this from 15 years ago? It was an adventure with everything on screen made up of keyboard characters. I think the player was an ampersant and alot of the enemies were # and & and * ..just crazy, but in college we played it hours on end for awhile.

I remember a game like that but I don't remember the name. We played it on an IBM though, not a TRS-80.
