The Wonderful World of Eamon was created by Donald Brown. It came with two adventures and a text-based RPG system construction set used to create more adventures. The system allowed for graphics but the game focused heavily on text. Even though the core system has always been public domain NOT ALL THE ADVENTURES ARE; there were and still are several commercial packages that include the system and collections of games. Written in BASIC. It was ported via BASIC to Atari 8-bit, Atari 16-bit, Apple ProDOS, AppleDOS 3.3, MS-DOS, Windows and probably many other platforms. Over the years the core system continued to be updated and is still be being updated to this day, there are QBasic and Visual Basic updates. Old adventures are always being updated and new adventures are still being written.
Here is a list of most of the titles available. Adventures based on Tolkien books are marked with a T. Some of the better adventures are coded (# nice, ## good, ### very good, #### excellent) according to players votes. Many fans consider Redemption #### to be the best adventure for Eamon.
