AMFV was my introduction to Infocom and it remains my all-time favorite IF, even though I mostly play puzzle-heavy games (I guess it takes a brilliant master such as Steve Meretzky to make such a work). Can you share with us the inside joke in Planetfall? :) I’m currently playing Starcross but I’m not enjoying it that much and I might just start Planetfall again (never beat it).
- ghaff 5y agoNot really :-) It's related to, as I recall, a character's name but that still doesn't really tell you much absent some context. I'm not sure I ever played Lebling's Starcross. In general, I've never been very good about finishing videogames, text adventures or otherwise. And of course in the Infocom era, you couldn't just look up a walkthrough if you got frustrated. (And calling up the author which is what I did wasn't a very scalable solution--which is probably how I got through Planetfall.) And also why Mike did well with his clue booklets. Leather Goddesses of Phobos was also pretty good; there was a later graphical version as well.
