It’s been a while since I last came across an Infocom adventure that I don’t already own. Consequently when I spotted Planetfall a couple of weeks ago I snapped it up straight away. It’s in terrific condition for a 36 year old game and it looks like all the extra bits and bobs are present and correct.

A place for everything and everything in its place!
This is yet another game I’ve never had the pleasure of playing through before. As a result it will be joining my ever growing list of retro titles that I’m looking forward to completing at some point in the (hopefully) not too distant future!

Planetfall’s Extra Goodies
An Infocom game just wouldn’t be complete without a bunch of extra physical content included in the box. Planetfall is no exception. Tucked away in the two top pockets there’s a small book, “Today’s Stellar Control”, some intergalactic post cards, an instruction booklet and a some hand-written journal entries. Then in the two slots lower down there’s a plastic Stellar Patrol ID badge and the most important item of all, a floppy disk containing the game.
Here’s a look at some of the other Infocom games in my collection, well the ones I’ve posted about anyway.
Nice folio version of Planetfall. Been trying to get some of them myself. Still a few missing. You can get them from $40-100,- depending on seller + US shipping. Some made it to Europe too. I got infidel. Still nice they have all the “feelies” that came with the original big box release.
Glad you liked it. I’ve been collecting Infocom games for many years now, got quite a few duplicates too from bundled deals and the like. I keep meaning to post more ‘mini reviews’ of them on my site but seldom get around to it!
