Nightmare Planet 2025

A faithful, modern port of the 1982 Commodore 64 text adventure.

Nightmare Planet 2025 is a lovingly enhanced browser adaptation of Mike Grace’s original 1982 adventure from Commodore 64 Adventures – A Guide to Playing and Writing Adventures. This version preserves the spirit and structure of the classic while expanding puzzles, interactions, and world detail.

You play a starship pilot escorting Princess Aurora to the planet Zen for a political marriage you secretly dread. A meteor storm forces a crash landing on an uncharted world, Aurora vanishes, and your powerless ship leaves you stranded. Your mission: explore the hostile landscape, rescue Aurora, and recover the power crystal that can get you home.

Featuring:

• Authentic retro presentation with a C64‑style font and blinking block cursor
• Expanded puzzles inspired by the original 1982 design
• A faithful narrative reconstruction with modern quality‑of‑life improvements
• Play instantly in your browser — no downloads, no fuss

If you grew up playing Zork, Planetfall, or the original Nightmare Planet, this will feel like coming home.
