''Eamon'' is a series (over 200 entries!) of {{RPG}} InteractiveFiction started in the 80s on the UsefulNotes/AppleII; set in a very nebulously changing landscape that includes many references to ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', ''Franchise/StarWars'' and more. Many of the games contradicted themselves, and this was accepted as not only inevitable, but part of the fun.

What interconnected all of these was that you rolled up a character in the "Main Hall" diskette; with {{Character Customization}}, money, and a weapon or spell or two. Then you go out on an adventure via one of the other disks. If you die, you go back to the Main Hall with a loss of equipment and money -- unless it's FinalDeath. If you survive, you can carry up to four weapons plus money, spells, and (sometimes) stat increases to another of the adventures.

The shifting pulls of all of these great bodies bring strange forces to bear upon this planet; twisting light, tides, even the laws of science itself! Strange things happen there, and the citizens of Eamon must always be adaptable, for things are rarely what they seem, and even more rarely what they were yesterday!"''
