Circuit's Edge is a video game developed by Westwood Associates and released by Infocom in 1990.

The player assumes the role of Marîd Audran, a private detective.

The game is set in "The Budayeen", an entertainment/criminal quarter in an unnamed city somewhere in the Middle East that is based on New Orleans.

Effinger's novel When Gravity Fails was the first in a series of three "Marîd Audran" books (followed by 1989's A Fire in the Sun and 1991's The Exile Kiss); Circuit's Edge takes place between the first and second novel.

[2] Jim Trunzo reviewed Circuit's Edge in White Wolf #22 (Aug./Sept., 1990), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "One thing is certainL once you begin to play Circuit's Edge, you'll keep going back to the streets of Budayeen, where life is never boring and death never far away.
