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

Did I need to bring a coin wiht me from the room with the pool table in in order to operate the coke machine - or am i missing somethign obvious?

Yes.

you're kidding.

Yes, you need a coin to get a cola...

But you don't need a cola to get through the red barrier.

Hint:...it make look like nothing is happening when you try to get rid of the red force field.

Do you guys know of any other little games like these? I thought they were fun!!! I want more!

Solved it. That was quite good fun.

Yea... I finished it as well... Now I'm torturing coworkers with it. (at home of course )

what the is going on with room 3 in the time puzzle one? I have the head, I have the three wall tiles but nothing seems to go anywhere! Confoozled!

What's so fiendishly difficult about this puzzle? Once I found all the items in the first 20 minutes wo*king on this, it took me under five minutes to put it all together and get out of the room. Sheesh.

The items were well hidden ... I'll give you that.

puzzle, Clive ... quite fun!

That Washcloth is entirely too smart... took me 3 days to finally escape the Crimson Room, and I had lots of hints along the way!

I only told her how many items she was looking for, and that you sometimes had to click repeatedly on a place to get it to show you the item.

So are there any more games like that? They're no fun once you've done them once - you can't play them again

Dunno you'll have to pester Croz - I got the link from him.

done it!

Reminds me of one that we talked about ages ago. Shall see if I can find it...

There's a wonderful old game called 'Deja Vu' that I played more than a decade ago that resembles 'The Crimson Room' ... only it goes on much longer across an entire town, and it's far more difficult to solve.

In the game, you wake up in a bathroom stall with amnesia. After going through the pockets of your trenchcoat and finding a few items in your pockets and wallet, you stumble out into an empty bar where you find more clues. Soon, you discover that you're being framed for murder. There are many more places to be searched in this detective game in order to pieces of the intriguing story together. Your mission is to find sufficient evidence to prove your innocence to the police. If you approach the police station before you've proven the case, you're promptly thrown in the slammer for life, no questions asked ... and you lose the game.

I don't think I've ever played another game that I found so absorbing as this one, even though it is an old one. Gameboy re-released the game a while back, even though it was originally on Mac in 1987. I did a search for it the other night, and it looks as though some downloadable versions still exist, although, I'm not sure if they'll work well on later operating systems. Either way, it's well worth checking this one out. It has the same general feel as the Takagism games, and trust me, you might just be wo*king on the solution to this one for weeks and weeks.

A sequel, called 'Deja Vu II' exists as well ... also great fun!

I'm sure that the practice I had in the aforementioned games gave me an unfair advantage in solving 'The Crimson Room' ... the format was very familiar. I ADORE THIS SORT OF GAME!

this might be complete pants but I just found this. I appologise if it is not up to scratch but I ain't figured out what is going on yet.

well not too sure what that was on about!

Anyway, found some off this site:-

which the beeb will probably slap my wrist for postying as it is a Channel 4 site . Oh well

I've played the Discworld games and the Simon the Sorcerer games, both of which are this sort of thing

someone mentioned the Discworld games to me the other day when I showed them this at uni.

I might have to go and see if they still exist somewhere...
