Scarce factory-sealed first edition of Through the Looking Glass by Steve Capps, remembered as one of the earliest video games written for the Apple Lisa and Apple Macintosh computers. The original box, which resembles an antique book, is sealed in its original wrapper, with green inventory label to the front and the textblock edge bearing an Apple Macintosh logo that reads: “This Software Runs On Macintosh and Lisa.” In fine condition, with a few small wrapper tears to textblock area.
Originally developed for the Apple Lisa under the name ‘Alice,’ the player takes the title role from Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice in Wonderland, who is opposed by the computer playing a complete set of chess players. Alice moves about the board in real-time and attempts to capture the computer's pieces while simultaneously avoiding the computer's attempts to capture her.
