Fidelity
Trillium's 1984 interactive fiction is based on the novel. Bradbury wrote the prologue and the lines for the computer called Ray. The plot, by Byron Preiss and Len Neufeld, is set five years after the book, with Montag already a fugitive working for the literary underground. Platforms include Apple II, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Mac, Atari ST, and MSX.
Read first?
01
When to read first
Read the novel first. The game assumes its ending and moves on.
02
When playing first is fine
Play first only if you already know the book. It is a sequel wearing the novel's title.
03
Why
The author's contribution is real and does not reset the timeline. You are supposed to arrive knowing who Montag became.
