h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Why is it that a game designed and made in the U.K .is unavailable in this country but available via the net in the USA?
What are the digital village on?Does DNA know about this?& how can I replace all the hair that I've pulled out & repair the teeth that I've ground away.HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's widely available in Holland, just wander into any software or games shop and pick it off the shelf.

I don't know what platform you're on about, or whether you just want to download it from the web, but PC CD-ROM versions are available in places like WHSmith, PC World, Game ... Price around £25 to £30

That would be my first idea, to go to a computer game shop, and buy it there, particularyl at some point in time when the game is newly released and has the vague possibility of being in the charts. Of course, if you never leave you house, and wish to buy online from the UK (What does it matter where it comes from if you buy online??), you could always (Shock! Horror!) use a UK retailer??? Maybe I'm being simplistic here...

On the other hand, you can have my copy. The parrot does my tree in...

Alternatively, you could wait a year or so until the price has come down to something reasonable. Most computer games are priced around £30 - £35 when they first come out, for which you get ... not one hell of a lot! One CD and an instruction manual, at the most. Just before Christmas I wandered into my local HMV and bought 'Populous: The Beginning' for £10. Quite a saving on a game that only came out a year or so ago. Wait a while and the same will happen to Starship Titanic, or it will come out in a 'Special Edition' bundled with other bits and pieces (strategy guide, add-ons). It's happened to every other game.
