Download Border Zone - DOS game

Welcome to Border Zone (1987, DOS), where the Cold War is hot and your only weapon is your brain (and maybe a good map). This text-based espionage thriller from Infocom combines spy drama with multiple protagonists and a real-time twist—yes, time passes even while you’re thinking. Which is terrifying. You’ll sneak past guards, dodge checkpoints, and type “LOOK” more times than your fingers can handle. The writing’s sharp, the tension’s real, and the puzzles will make you question your allegiance to logic. If James Bond were a librarian, he’d love this game. Just remember: the KGB isn’t known for giving second chances.
