The Eidolon was one of two games that were part of Lucasfilm Games' second wave in December 1985.[4] The other was Koronis Rift. Both took advantage of the fractal technology developed for Rescue on Fractalus!,[5] further enhancing it. In The Eidolon, Rescue's fractal mountains were turned upside down and became the inside of a cave.
In addition to common cassette formats, the Atari and Commodore 64 versions were supplied on a single floppy disk. One side had the version for Atari 8-bit computers and the other had the Commodore 64 version. The Atari version requires an XL/XE with 64kB or more memory.
