The President of Telarium was C. David Seuss,[2] the founder and CEO of Spinnaker Software.
Within the first year of its founding, Trillium's name was changed to Telarium due to legal issues presented by a book publisher.
Crichton collaborated on the development of Telarium's game Amazon, which was loosely based on his book Congo.
[7] Two more adventure games were announced, but not published (Starman Jones, based on a science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, and The Great Adventure, based on a science fiction novel by Philip Jose Farmer).
[10] The cooperation with famous writers like Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke and Michael Crichton was accentuated as a special feature of Telarium.
