Infocom's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Re-release

By Dave Is. over 3 years ago

This may be old news, but since HHGTTG premieres tonight, I figured the updated Infocom game was worth a mention. +1 point extra credit if you actually played it in the 80’s.

Update: Here’s an online version of the original if you care.

i was playing this a few days ago. I got farther than I ever had! I got past the bulldozer! I was extatic.

Then the earth blew up cause I somehow lost track of Mos Def.

I think the whole charm of the original computer game was that it wasn’t meant to be beaten. I consider it a win if you actually get off of earth.
