I bit off-topic:

Starship Titanic for the PC was written and supervised by Douglas Adams. So, if you are interesting in the Hitcherhikers Guide series this may be a game to check out as well. Plays a bit like Myst or other similiar adventure games.

Theres an atari computer version im pretty sure I picked one up somewhere and ebayed it when noone here wanted it.

Came with some cool stuff like black "dont panic" sunglasses that were made of cardboard and some other stuff in the box.

I played the Atari version. There are copies floating around the internet that you can run on the emulators.

As much as I liked the game - pretty much the only Infocom text game I could get into - the hint booklet is funnier. I've probably already mentioned this before. But, again, great game, and it was scripted by Douglas Adams, so it's part of the canon in a sense.

Does anyone know if there is a Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy game? I thought i have seen it before in the High Score book but i haven't seen it on any game lists.I believe it was for commodore 64.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx. Dave.

We have one you can play in the Roundtable Arcade:

The Infocom game Bureacracy was also written by Douglas Adams. At least in collaboration. I remember reading about it the Status Line, but it's one of the few Infocom titles I haven't played.
