EspañolTERRATOPIA
(Redirected from Terratopia)
'TerraTopia' was a series of children's books produced by The Nature Company in the early 1990s and eventually spun off into other products, most notably an adventure game for computers.
Several different TerraTopia books were released, as well as a collection of the four stories together as one harcover volume. The books took the format of short graphic novels, with comic-book-style panels and word balloons.
★ ''The Secret of the Dragonfly and The Daring Dino Rescue'' ISBN 1-883871-00-X
★ ''The Adventure of The Wandering Wolves in Vulcan's Vent'' ISBN
★ ''Sketch's Sketch Book'' ISBN 1-883871-03-4
★ ''Terratopia, The Graphic Adventure: The First Four Tales'' (harcover compilation) ISBN 1-883871-02-6
In 1993 TerraTopia was made into a board game, designed by Peter Olotka of Cosmic Encounter fame and his son, Greg Olotka. In the spirit of the books, the game was cooperative rather than competitive, with all players attempting to overcome various challenges using their Terratrooper abilities and ultimately recover their stones.
A Canal+ TerraTopia television show was announced in 1995, planned for release in 1996 as a 52-episode series. Planned to coincide with the television show was a Minolta TerraTopia camera, which would have been Minolta's first camera marketed primarily to kids and would have featured the character Sketch to get children interested in nature photography.
In 1998, The Discovery Channel purchased The Nature Company and converted all remaining Nature Company stores to the Discovery Channel brand. As of 2006, there have been no attempts to revive TerraTopia as a Discovery Channel property.
