Classic Gaming: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Coinciding with the film release [IMDB] and the BBC 4 radio show of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the BBC created a huge web site repository of Hitchhiker stuff.

The coolest thing there? A fully playable version of the original Infocom [Answers] Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game, designed and written by game design legend Steve Meretzky. Like all Infocom games of that era, the Hitchhiker game is text-only. However, the BBC held a contest for amateurs to illustrate the game, and the two winning entries are both available to play.
