I found a guy selling off his game collection in a Commodore 64 forum and bought myself some very early birthday presents. The big prize is Below the Root, a strange and beautiful adventure/platformer I adored as a kid.pic.twitter.com/bXQRL2B7ni

Alice in Wonderland was another surreal Windham Classics adventure, one of five books they adapted to computer games, and the only other one played with a joystick. (Their other three games were all text adventures with images.)pic.twitter.com/kDGinmJDLE
In 1984, Spinnaker Software spun off two subsidiaries: Windham Classics and Trillium, later renamed to Telarium after a trademark conflict. Amazon was Trillium’s first game, written by Michael Crichton, based on his novel Congo.pic.twitter.com/3gvOA7w6TQ
Amazon shipped with the first issue of Trillium’s as-yet-untitled newsletter, with quotes from the sci-fi/fantasy authors for each of their five launch titles.pic.twitter.com/BSPNlnKROD
Arthur C. Clarke was barely involved with Trillium/Telarium’s Rendezvous with Rama adaptation, and the game itself is pretty mediocre, but their packaging is phenomenal.pic.twitter.com/anFezfhEPE

The last game I picked up was Dragonworld, another one I had as a kid but tossed the packaging. It came with this cool window decal, but no manual. Good thing I found my old manual, complete with a page of my own handwritten notes tucked inside at age 8 or 9.pic.twitter.com/e6XWhGSowH
