Alright, so I did a ton of research into this.
1) I went down lists TRS-80 games, looked up screenshots from each game. None matched.
2) Reverse image searched it, only traced back to number stock photo sites.
3) Found a higher resolution image and searched for the text in the middle of the screen:
ERIC: DICE: 2 3 TOTAL=5 USE {arrow keys} D=DONE
Which also turned up nothing.
4) Posted to identification subreddits, which refered me to /r/trs80.
5) Posted to /r/trs80, and no one there recognized it either. They suggested that it was something written in BASIC that was either expressly for the picture, or that it was written then never saw a release.
Honestly, I think it's safe to say that the game never existed as a purchasable game outside of this stock photo.
