Trivia
(From
The New Zork Times, Vol.3 No.1, Winter 1984)
Planetfall was titled
Sole Survivor by its author,
Steve Meretzky, and later shortened to just
Survivor. When Infocom discovered another game called
Survivor, they decided they'd rather switch than fight. Infocom's ad agency, Giardini/Russell, submitted a list about 30 long, their favorite of which was
Lost Planet. Reaction was less than enthusiastic, not the least because it reminded two of Infocom's employess of the TV series,
Lost in Space.
Marc Blank suggested
Planetfall during a long, frustrating meeting - he thought he had seen it once in an SF book as a word meaning arrival on a new planet (much like landfall). Nobody really believed him, but it was never improved upon.
