Infocom Disk And Manual Glamor Shots For Upcoming Book

Photographer Jennifer Lyseng recently shot a photo series of game disks and manuals from Infocom's classic adventure titles, presenting them with relevant objects (e.g. like a sword and a stone for Arthur: The Quest for Excalibur).

The images were commissioned by Rick Thornquist, who is writing a book on the history of Infocom's games. He plans to use the photos in the book and as backdrops for interviews he'll conduct with Infocom developers, which will be featured on a DVD included with the book.

You can see more of Lyseng's series below for titles like Journey and James Clavell's Shogun, with high resolution versions available on her Behance page:

I wrote about these sorts of inserts in an article for The Escapist #62, "Feelies":
