What Infidel!! The worst ever infocom game!! I most strongly disagree.
Beyond Zork was much worse.

Infidel had a fantastic atmosphere and setting.

I have to say that for me I hated the mystery games. Sorceror also was nowhere
near as good as the others.

My favourites were Star-Cross, Wishbringer, Enchanter, and Infidel.
