Amnesia is a text adventure written by science fiction author Thomas M. Disch and programmed by Kevin Bentley.

Stores open and close at the correct times, street lights turn on, and other aspects of New York City life are simulated.

The review also noted the main character would collapse after an unrealistically short amount of time if he didn't eat or sleep frequently.

stated that the combination of Disch's writing and Electronic Arts' software "makes Amnesia a text adventure well worth exploring".

[citation needed] Disch wrote a screenplay based on the game's characters and story line and it was optioned to one of the major Hollywood studios, but the film was never made.
