  1. Amnesia

    Thomas M. Disch's Amnesia is a text adventure computer game created by Charles Kreitzberg's Cognetics Corporation, written by award-winning science fiction author Thomas M. Disch, and programmed by Kevin Bentley using the King Edward Adventure game authoring system developed by James Terry. The game was acquired and produced by Don Daglow and published by Electronic Arts (EA) in 1986 for the MS-DOS PC and Apple II systems. A version for Commodore 64 was released in 1987. The game begins as the player's character awakens in a midtown Manhattan hotel room with absolutely no memory. He has no clothes and no money, and doesn't even remember what he looks like. The player soon discovers he is engaged to a woman he cannot remember, a strange man is trying to kill him, and the state of Texas wants him for murder. From here, the player must unravel the events in his life that led him to this point. In addition to being a text adventure, the game's major innovation was simulating life in Manhattan. Disch's model covered every block and street corner south of 110th Street. A hard-copy map of the streets and subways of Manhattan was included in the packaging.

  2. La femme qui ne supportait pas les ordinateurs

    L'une des premières œuvres de fiction interactive réalisée par une créatrice, La femme qui ne supportait pas les ordinateurs, est un examen des harcèlements sexuels dans la cyberculture. Le jeu, écrit par Chine Lanzmann et codé par Jean-Louis Le Breton, permet au joueur de se faire passer pour une femme qui doit faire face à de nombreux séducteurs. Fait intéressant, l'un des prédateurs sexuels est un ordinateur. Le jeu est stylisé sur un chat sur Minitel, où plusieurs questions sont posées au joueur. Elle ne peut taper que deux réponses : "oui" ou "non", qui influencent le résultat du jeu. Cependant, plus le joueur s'implique dans le chat simulé, moins il a de chances d'éviter l'une des six fins, toutes négatives.
