Here is one called the Infotater, made for the 1984 interactive fiction title, Sorcerer, by Infocom. We’ll talk more about interactive fiction in a while. The Infotater displayed information about some of the monsters found in the story, and also associated each monster with a five-character color code, one of which was the key to opening a trunk in the game, thus making the Infotater a clever copyright protection device.

Hi HyperRitual,
excellent presentation so far. I think that the figure from Matthew Reinhart & Robert Sabuda’s Encyclopaedia Mythologica volume, Dragons & Monsters, is the Medusa and not the Sphinx. I’m not 100% certain about this, but I can deduct it from her snakey hair.
Keep up with the great work,
Plethon.
Hi, Nick. Thanks for taking time to check out my work. Look at the lower-right corner of the book; that is the transition I am referring to in the speech/text. :-)
Right, I get it now, thank you for pointing it out. I have finished watching the slide show and I find it brilliant. It does motivate to go out and start doing, creating, interacting… Please produce more work like this, we’re so thirsty for this kind of quality.
Cheers, man!
