Feelies
Before Infocom released Starcross, it released Zork III, and Deadline before that. Deadline included several physical items related to the game's theme, which Infocom referred to as feelies, and they continued the technique by providing feelies with Zork III and Starcross.
The Starcross feelies consisted of the following items:
- Log of the M.C.S. Starcross, a whimsical journal of the player's character's experiences on the ship
- A letter from the "Bureau of Extra-Solar Intelligence" providing advice for any encounters with alien lifeforms
- A partial space map of charted masses, including instructions on how to use the navigation computer
