John F. Kennedy
The U.S. president whose assassination the player is sent back to prevent.
How it plays
The game presents a story-driven adventure in which the player investigates locations and people connected with the Kennedy assassination. Progress depends on examining clues, choosing responses, and deciding how to act while preserving the intended timeline.
The structure is organized around investigative scenes and time-travel objectives rather than conventional combat stages. The player must gather information, identify threats, and complete the mission before the historical situation becomes irreparably altered.
Plan your run
Read all available information carefully before committing to an action. Treat conversations and observed details as clues, and avoid changing events without understanding their consequences.
Keep track of dates, locations, and people involved in the investigation. When progress stalls, revisit earlier evidence and consider whether the current objective requires protecting the timeline as well as Kennedy.

Guardians of Infinity: To Save Kennedy is a DOS science-fiction adventure centered on a dangerous mission through time. The player takes the role of a guardian sent to 1963, where the objective is to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy without creating an even worse historical divergence. The game combines exploration, investigation, conversation, and time-travel problem solving rather than arcade combat. Its historical setting gives the adventure a documentary flavor, while its speculative premise reflects the era’s interest in interactive science fiction. Reception was mixed: the ambitious subject and unusual premise attracted attention, but contemporary criticism also noted uneven presentation and a demanding interface. It remains chiefly interesting as an uncommon DOS adventure built around an alternate-history interpretation of the Kennedy assassination.
