Planetfall is a science fiction interactive fiction computer game written by Steve Meretzky, and the eighth title published by Infocom in 1983.

Like most Infocom games, thanks to the portable Z-machine, it was released for several platforms simultaneously.

The original release included versions for the PC ( both as a booter and for DOS ) and Apple II.

The Atari ST and Commodore 64 versions were released in 1985.

A version for CP / M was also released.

Although Planetfall was Meretzky's first title, it proved one of his most popular works and a best-seller for Infocom ; it was one of five top-selling titles to be re-released in Solid Gold versions including in-game hints.

Planetfall utilizes the Z-machine originally developed for the Zork franchise and was added as a bonus to the " Zork Anthology ".

A review in Computer Gaming World considered the game a good place to start for those new to interactive fiction .< ref name = " CGW ">
