Synopsis

The Eidolon is one of two games that were part of Lucasfilm Games' second wave in December 1985. The other was Koronis Rift. Both took advantage of the fractal technology developed for Rescue on Fractalus!, further enhancing it. In The Eidolon, Rescue's fractal mountains were turned upside down and became the inside of a cave. In addition to cassette formats, the Atari and Commodore 64 versions were supplied on a single floppy disk. One side has the version for Atari 8-bit computers and the other has the Commodore 64 version.
