**INFIDEL (NA / ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)** is an archeological text adventure set
in and below the Egyptian desert. You are an unscrupulous and
ambitious explorer searching for the lost tomb of an acient queen
hidden beneath the scorching sands of the desert. Your only guide
in a sixty-five year old map markign the approximate location of the
entrance to the tomb. One problem is that your nasty temper has
resulted in your hired hand sleaving you all alone in the desert.
Another problem is that the only way to determine location in the
desert is to use a sophisticated navigational box -- yours is broken.
All is not lost, however. A plane soon flies overhead and drops
another box, which enables you to find and enter the tomb. Once
inside, you are confronted with various challenges, including deadly
booby traps on your path to the gold-covered coffin of the queen.
Along the way, you'll find messages written in hieroglyphics which
give you direction to find the queen and also avoid the booby traps.
The closer you get to the queen, the nastier the traps get.

## Archeologist's Delight

This game is *highly* addictive. We were unable to leave it alone
when faced with the real puzzle until we had solved it. As you get
farther into the tomb, the challenges and rewards get greater. If
you've ever wanted to be an archeologist, you should try this game.
If you are careful and observant, you should be able to avoid most
of the pitfalls awaiting you. As usual for Infocom, the gameplay is
of the highest quality. (also available for Apple and Atari; disk)
