The Eidolon is one of three excellent Atari 8-bit games from Lucasfilm that made use of their impressive fractal terrain engine.

Atari A to Z is a weekly series that gradually works its way through the Atari 8-bit's catalogue of games, one letter at a time. Once we get to Z, we go back to A and start all over again!

New episodes on Tuesdays.
