newlychaste -> Hitchhiker's Guide Text Video Game (6/20/2009 6:20:17 PM)

Possibly of some interest to those of you who are Douglas Adams fans:

I'm hooked on it.  Text-based video games were awesome, in my opinion, and the sheer cheekiness of this particular one combines the best of two fairly obscure worlds into something COMPLETELY obscure. 

Enjoy!

Oh man, this is straight out of the days of yore, when I'd play Adventure on a Burroughs Inc server, over a 300 baud acoustic modem!

I remember the original it  had no graphics, even the basic ones that this game has....but still fun and forces a little more use of the mind/imagination [:D]

* with what, your bare hands? *

Then there was the bird scaring the snake.  The troll under the bridge.  And I never found where the hell the pirate was, or how to get out of Wits End.

"Adventure"?  That sounds pretty advanced!  "Use 'text messages' on the 'interwebs' to play games!"  Hahaha.  *Stab snake with dagger.* /roll 4
