Califia

is a multimedia, interactive, hypertext fiction for CD-ROM.  Califia allows the reader to wander and play in the landscape of historic/magic California.  It is a digital-born, computer-only creation of interactive stories, photos, graphics, maps, music, and movement.

Califia features the work of excellent California musicians.  The flamenco music is written and performed by Michael Olsen.  The classical lute and mandolin music is performed by John Schneiderman.  Clips from The Grateful Dead were made available by the Grateful Dead organization with the valuable assistance of Alan Trist.

In CD-ROM form, Califia is over 300 megabytes, and, so, is too large to reproduce here.  It is available from Eastgate Systems or Amazon.com.
