This single player game starts with lead character, Arthur Dent, working his way through a series of different challenges and zones. Players use a specially designed keyboard to enter their commands and there are achievements to be won throughout the game by completing a series of tasks. This interactive work of fiction sees players visiting other planets, meeting aliens and robots, and creating (or losing) the plot, based on their decisions and choices as they progress through the game. The game is renowned for its difficulty and it never misses a chance to kill players off in hilarious and infuriating ways.

The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything is 42.

Is this the text-game that you can't ever win if you forget to pick up the towel right at the start?

i think it must be the old text adventure. Production costs must not be that high and the drain on the servers of running it would be like just running a normal webpage. I think they could just keep it up there for years with almost no cost for doing so.

As it says, there will be images to accompany it, so it sounds pretty fun. I cant wait to try it.
