The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Don't panic!

The most mind-bogglingly hilarious story Infocom has ever produced. Written and designed by Douglas Adams, author of the phenomenally best-selling novel, and Steve Meretzky, the award-winning designer of Infocom's Planetfall and Sorcerer.

As the story begins, you are Arthur Dent, and a bulldozer is preparing to level your house even as an alien spacefleet is preparing to level your planet. The incorrigable Mr. Adams has written new material and designed problems especially for this interactive story. So grab a pint of bitter and a couple for the road and join Ford Prefect, Trillian, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Marvin on a cosmic jaunt into the outer reaches where anything can -- and does -- happen. And don't forget your towel!
