Guardians of Infinity: To Save Kennedy

About

Guardians of Infinity: To Save Kennedy is a 1988 strategy adventure game that tasks you with reordering history. As Dr. Adam Cooper, you control a team of agents deployed across time to avert President Kennedy’s assassination. The game blends resource management with puzzle-like mission planning, assigning tasks, tracking timelines, and correcting paradoxes caused by shifting events. Each decision ripples through the timeline, demanding careful coordination to align your team’s actions with the fragile flow of history. The game’s most striking trait is its ambitious attempt to merge real-world politics with sci-fi mechanics years before the genre became mainstream. Though it lacks modern polish, its core loop of planning, executing, and adapting to timeline disruptions feels remarkably focused for its time. With a cult-following cemented by retro strategy fans, it remains a curiosity for those digging into early examples of time-based gameplay. Its Windows port extended its life beyond the DOS era, though it never charted beyond niche circles.
