Summary
Stationfall is an interactive fiction computer game created by Steve Meretzky and published by Infocom in 1987. Like most of Infocom's titles, it was made available at the same time on multiple popular computer systems of the era, including the Commodore 64, Apple II, and PC. The game serves as a follow-up to Planetfall, one of Infocom's most acclaimed adventures. It is the company's twenty-fifth release. After the events on Resida in Planetfall, the player's character is promoted from a lowly Ensign Seventh Class to Lieutenant First Class. However, life as an officer in the Stellar Patrol isn't much more exciting than that of a common enlisted soldier. Five years after the exhilaration of saving a planet from annihilation, the character finds themselves stuck in a monotonous office job, drowning in mountains of paperwork instead of scrubbing floors. A particularly dull mission arrives: to accompany a spacetruck to a space station and collect a shipment of "Request for Stellar Patrol Issue Regulation Black Form Binders Request Form Forms." To add insult to boredom, spacetrucks are completely automated and will pilot themselves once the correct coordinates are input. But the assignment does allow for the use of a robot assistant, and conveniently, Floyd—beloved companion and resurrected hero from the end of Planetfall—is one of the available options.
