Actually, it wouldn't be that hard to play Planetfall natively on the LC.

Two options:

1) (Simple) Find a copy of the "Lost Treasures of Infocom 1". Some of the
   clearing houses have it for about $20. It includes Planetfall and
   many other early Infocom adventures.

2) Check out the Interactive Fiction archive at "ftp.gmd.de".
   Since you're already using an emulator, you must have a disk image
   of Planetfall. If so, then you can extract just the story file
   using a program called "ap2inf" in the "/if-archive/Infocom/tools"
   directory.

   An Infocom interpreter (also known as a "Zip" or "Z-machine") for the
   Mac can be found in the "/if-archive/Infocom/interpreters" directory.
