Planetfall is a science fiction interactive fiction computer game written by Steve Meretzky, and the 8th title published by Infocom in 1983. Like most Infocom games, thanks to the portable Z-machine, it was released for several platforms simultaneously. Although Planetfall was Meretzky's first title, it proved one of his most popular works and a best-seller for Infocom. It was 1 of 5 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".
