This is an infocom-style game that was posted on the VBB recently; it follows the storyline of the book. I found it really funny (stays true to the book :D), so I thought I would post it here. ;)

54.  And they made that game, for real (meaning sold it and everything) quite a while back.  You might be able to find it on abandonware sites.  Unless this is the one you're talking about, then the point is mute.

I want to play the new 3d HHGTTG game, although they'll probably screw it up...

This is sweet:
"Go out the window"
You hit your head on the window as you attempt this feat.

"Open the window"
The bloody thing's been jammed for months, now.

"Break the window"
You are obviously letting things get to you. You should learn to relax a little.
