Border Zone is an interactive fiction video game written by Marc Blank and published by Infocom in 1987.

Unusual for a text adventure, game time continues to pass even as the computer waits for the player's next input.

Players generally consider Border Zone to correspond to either Infocom's "Standard" or "Advanced" level of difficulty[citation needed].

Computer Gaming World's Scorpia found Border Zone's division into three standalone adventures unsatisfying, and stated that it would have been better as one.

[2] PC Magazine stated that the game "has hit upon exactly the right scenario for an interactive novel" and praised the feelies' "rich detail".[3]Compute!
