Download Cutthroats - DOS game

In Cutthroats, you’re a diver hired for a treasure-hunting expedition that’s about to go very wrong. This text adventure from Infocom mixes underwater exploration with a noir-tinged plot full of betrayal and greed. The parser is as demanding as ever, and solving the puzzles requires careful observation and a bit of trial and error. It’s atmospheric, tense, and proof that you don’t need graphics to create a vivid adventure.

Retro gamer collector's corner:

Each package of Cutthroats contained the following feelies:

True Tales of Adventure, a fictional magazine catering to self-styled adventurers
Four Shipwrecks off Hardscrabble Island, a fictional book "published" by the Hardscrabble Harbor Historical Society with information on the wrecks of São Vera, H.M.S. Intrangisent, The Fianna and S.S. Leviathan.
A dive map indicating the locations and depths of the above four ships
A "supplemental price list" from Outfitters International featuring a tide table. As the equipment available does not appear in list form or in any other reference within the game, the player requires the price list packaged with the game for a successful dive.
