Planetfall
DOSInteractive Fiction
Planetfall is a science-fiction interactive fiction adventure developed and published by Infocom for DOS. You play an inexperienced spacefleet officer assigned to menial duties aboard a deteriorating vessel. After an emergency forces you onto an apparently deserted planet, survival and investigation become your priorities. The game is driven by written commands, environmental observation, item use, and puzzle solving rather than graphics or action sequences. Its humor, strong prose, and memorable robot companion Floyd helped establish it as one of Infocom’s best-known works. Contemporary and later reception has generally praised its writing, atmosphere, and character moments, while acknowledging that some puzzles require careful experimentation and attention to small textual clues.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
