The Multi-dimensional Thief

The Multi-dimensional Thief is a video game in the adventure genre originally released in 1991. It is currently playable on DOS.

The Multi-dimensional Thief is a single-player, keyboard-controlled, interactive fiction game. It was developed with the help of The Adventure Game Toolkit and has no graphics.

The story is that you play a thief. A good thief, but one who hasn't managed to become a member of the Multidimensional Thieves Guild, at least not yet. One day, a stranger approaches you and offers you to become a member of the aforementioned august body, but you have to pass a test. Joy of joys! This is what you have dreamed of for your entire professional career. Naturally, you accept.
The test is that you must be in a special set of rooms that don't actually exist in the same place, but have been 'borrowed' from other universes and glued together with magic. All you have to do is find your way out. The purpose of the test is apparently not to test your talents as a thief, as these are known and if you were no good they would not make you this offer, no, it is to test other qualities such as your ability to deal with changing environments.

This is how the game starts. Playing it will take the player to heaven, hell, the land of Oz (appropriate since the developer is Australian), temples, English forests and more. The 1991 version of the game features one hundred locations and has a maximum score of fifty points, although it is possible to complete the game without visiting all the locations or getting the maximum score.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
