H2G2 Game

Does anyone know anything about the Hitchhiker's Guide game that I've heard about? I've heard that it's going to sort of by like Starship Titanic, as in part-parser, part-graphics. I downloaded the original Infocom game, and I died about eight times before I figured out how to exit the house.

Is the game going to come out on PC anytime soon? Will it be released when the movie is?

You are developing an unhealthy smiley - winkeye obsession with the works of Douglas Adams. Welcome aboard! smiley - laugh

I don't know anything, but if anyone does, I'd also be interested to hear...

Thanks. My brother recognises it. I recognise it. I've read the book about three times. But, on the other hand, I've read each Harry Potter book about five times each! I found a BBCi article talking about the game being scheduled for release on both PC and Mac around June 2001.

Also, does anyone know when they're going to re-release the original Infocom game? On the Douglas Adams website, in the part where you can actually play the game (Java Version), it says something about the 1984 Infocom game going to be re-released for PC and Mac.

I should think they're in the pipeline. I wouldn't know where, though. smiley - smileysmiley - cake
