The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: 1984 Text Adventure

The BBC is honoring the 30th anniversary of Douglas Adams’s much-adored science fiction novel, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by resurrecting a text-based adventure game dating back to 1984. Be warned, however, that (as the BBC wisely points out) the game will kill you frequently, so save early and often.

You can spend a long time playing this one, so you better shut your office door before you get started.
