Planet Zandell
On a routine shuttle mission between Omega Cruxis and Earth, you inadvertently stray too close to the forbidden planet of Zandell. Suddenly you are blinded by an explosion, the instrument panel bursts into flames and the ship plunges out of control towards the alien land below. Can you find fuel, repair the ship and escape, or are you doomed to remain on the hostile world of Zandell forever?

Written by Mark Fitzgerald and published as M&M Software; Mountain Valley Software distributed it. The title screen reads “COPYRIGHT (C) MARK FITZGERALD”.
The box art reads PLANET ZANDELL, while the advert copy and the 2007 site both call it Planet of Zandell. The title screen sides with them: it reads PLANET OF ZANDELL.
The game opens after the crash rather than before it, and adds something the packaging does not: the player has lost their memory.
