My buddy at work sent me this link. Thought it was the coolest thing ever. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/game.shtml

Anyone play this back in the day when it was just text?

That is very cool! I remember playing this at a friend’s house back in '86 or so? Can't wait to see how the movie turns out. Martin Freeman will be perfect!

I've played and finished the Inforcom text adventure game of Hitchhikers Guide years ago. It was a lot of fun except it had a cliff hanger ending.

Sadly, Hitchhiker 2 was never made. So I kinda felt screwed.

Wow, this is pretty entertaining.

 

[tornadomann]

This is fun!!

This is awesome!

 

[willardhaven]

it's hard.

 

[AdamInPlaidum]

Yeah, I'm stuck at the beginning. I keep getting brick'd.

 

[Xevious]

The babel fish puzzle is the hardest. I remember that really well.

I played the text adventure when I was a little kid. It was hard as hell just to get off Earth. But maybe I was just too young. I also remember Zork!

That is pretty cool. A friend of mine had this game when I was a kid, I remember it being haaaaard. I don't think I ever got off Earth, although I probably only played it a time or two.

I wonder if having read the novels since the last time I played will help?
