      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

          For me, Telarium games were never as good as Infocom’s, but thanks to a young Seth Godin (!), their packaging was all stunning—gatefold albums stuffed with worldbuilding feelies. To learn more, I highly recommend @DigiAntiquarian’s history of bookware. https://www.filfre.net/2013/09/bookware/ …

          If you have any interest in these Telarium/Trillium games, all seven of their gatefold-packaged games are available in one eBay auction right now. Collect them all! https://www.ebay.com/itm/264718947077 …pic.twitter.com/IThYiZE79B
