I finished Planetfall. Almost.

Final Score: 79 or 80.

End Result: Crushed by meteor. Forgot to throw the switch to power up the system I had repaired. Not worth another run through to get 80 out of 80 though...

Loved those text games, though sometimes they were obtuse in their limited choice of verbs.

That's likely because everyone calls them either "text adventures" or
"infocoms" (if they've got the good "natural language" parser, as opposed
to the classic two-word verb-noun parser).
