Dragonriders of Pern is a 1983 video game release by Epyx that is based on Anne McAffrey's famous book series of the same name. The game was released on the Atari 8-bit and Commodore 64 (C64); a sequel for the C64, Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern, was cancelled when partially complete. The game was one of several adaptations of the Pern story made in the 1983 time frame, which also included a board game and arcade game. This version, for the Atari 8-bit and Commodore 64, was considered a forerunner of similar games based on novels, although similar adaptations did not become common at the time.
