You join the Stellar Patrol to go boldly where no man had gone before, but so far the broom closet is as far as you managed to get.

Take my word for it and give this game a try. You won’t be sorry. If you are like me you will spend much of the time playing this game with your eyes closed as you paint the described images in your mind. If you are up for a good science fiction adventure with a twist of humor, Planetfall won’t disappoint. Some of you that need graphics to get involved in a game may not agree with me but as they say... to each their own.

Overall, Planetfall is easily one of the best adventure games I've ever played because of the balanced and logical puzzles throughout the game, the humorous writing, and the amusing characters.

Planetfall is a work of interactive fiction penned by the infamous Infocom Implementor Steve Meretzky. You may have cursed his name once or twice if you have ever played Sorcerer or the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (for which you should also be given a medal if you have completed either game without hints). Planetfall is Meretzky’s first solo effort at writing for Infocom. As a pure text adventure, this game is interactive fiction in its original and truest sense of the form. The only graphics in this game comes from your mind, making it a title to be avoided at all costs if playing games from companies such as Sierra On-Line has already corrupted your imagination.
