Anatomy of a wild-pointer bug in Infocom's Infidel. Yes, in the released version. I believe this is a brand-new discovery. blog.zarfhome.com/2026/10/infi...

Infidel goes wild
Planetfall was yesterday's public release, but of course I've spent the past few weeks concentrating on Infidel. A couple of days I came across the most egregious bug I've yet seen in an Infocom game....

I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!
A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

Random encs are a perfect tool for old-school dungeon-crawler style of RPG: they're all about getting as deep as you can with the resources you have. Taking a step is a risk and battle is a resource sink. The more an RPG is in that resource-attrition mode of play, the more appropriate they get
