THE ARCHIVE DRAWER

The world beyond the box.

Open archival scans Feelies Map Manual

Seven photographs: Michael’s sealed IBM PC grey box front and back, the 1983 folio edition that preceded it, the Solid Gold reissue for the Apple II, and Today’s Stellar Patrol, the recruitment brochure that shipped inside. The grey box carries a heavy shrink-wrap sheen across the poster and, on its back, the 55 Wheeler Street address Infocom used before it moved to CambridgePark Drive. The package also held a Special Assignment Task Force I.D. card, a personal diary, and three postcards from the Universe’s swankiest tourist traps. Historical materials remain with the preservation projects that made them available.

STILL RUNNING / A LIVING INFOCOM EXPERIMENT

The box stays closed.
This world does not.

A living Infocom experiment

Preserved worlds should still feel alive.

Planetfall.ai is a complete room-by-room, object-by-object reconstruction of the original world, performed by an intelligent narrator that understands your intent and brings Floyd, Blather, and the Ambassador to life.

THE POINT

The AI does not replace Steve Meretzky’s world. It inhabits the role of narrator—interpreting your intent, voicing the world, and making its characters responsive while preserving the authored game beneath it.

Because Floyd deserves more than preservation. He deserves to be met again.
