Infidel

Infidel est un jeu vidéo de fiction interactive publié par Infocom en 1983. Il a été écrit par Patricia Fogleman et Michael Berlyn et était le premier de la série "Tales of Adventure". Grâce à la machine virtuelle Z-Machine d'Infocom, il a été porté sur une grande variété de systèmes informatiques populaires de l'époque, y compris l'Apple II et le Commodore 64. C'est le dixième jeu d'Infocom.

You like to think of yourself as a bold and adventurous soldier of fortune, daring to brave the perils of the Egyptian Desert in search of a great lost pyramid. In fact, you're a small-time explorer, and you've just been marooned by your crew. Thoughts of getting lost, starving to death, or dying of thirst cross your mind, but you are sustained by the faint hope that you can somehow find the pyramid in this smouldering heat. You're all alone. Perhaps the sun has affected your thinking. Do you really expect to find a lost pyramid in this vast, endless desert, much less survive? Even if you do find it, can you get inside? Hardest of all, are you capable of matching wits with the ancient Egyptians? Still, you're driven onward against desperate odds. Undreamed-of riches and treasures beyond imagination await you. And your pride and dignity, your reputation and self-esteem, are at stake. For you are branded INFIDEL.
