Information About

Feelies




Infocom used the term feelies to refer to the extra content included with the boxed versions of their Interactive Fiction Computer Game s. Feelies differed from game to game and were of the same theme as the game they came packaged with. For example, '' Wishbringer '', a Fantasy game with Magic , came with a "Magick glowing stone." These extra objects and documents sometimes served as a form of Copy Prevention , as several games were impossible to solve without information found in their feelies.

Some of Infocom's games and their feelies are listed below:
  • '' The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy ''

  • ---A button with "Don't Panic!" printed in large, friendly letters

  • ---Pocket Fluff

  • ---Order for destruction of Earth

  • ---Order for destruction of Arthur Dent's house

  • ---Microscopic Space Fleet (an empty plastic bag)

  • ---"Peril Sensitive Sunglasses" ("glasses" made of opaque black cardboard)

  • '' Planetfall ''

  • --- A Stellar Patrol "Special Assignment Task Force" ID card (about the size and shape of a Credit Card )

  • --- 3 interstellar Postcard s

  • --- A Stellar Patrol recruiting manual, "Today's Stellar Patrol"

  • --- Letters (presumedly to home)

  • '' Zork I ''

  • ---''The Great Underground Empire: A History''
