The Eidolon The Eidolon was one of two games in Lucasfilm Games' second wave (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. Charlie Kellner was the project leader, designer, and lead programmer for this game.
