It had been AGES since i had even heard about that game, let alone playing it. And i was longing to play it. I had to, just had to get it from somewhere. I googled for it, found nothing-asked my friends, but they knew no more than i did ( one of my friends asks me -"oye, yeh wahi new game hai na jo july mein release ho rahi hai?" "??!! #$@%" ).Then, to satisfy my nostalgic pangs, i decided to go through the game's walkthrough on Infocom's site, hoping to seek some sort of relief/satisfaction from there. Suddenly, i see a link for a direct download of the game. And of all the places, in the AdSense box in the corner. Thinking it'll probably charge me for it, i was hesitant at first, but then taking into consideration my desperation, i clicked on it. And to my utmost surprise, the site was one made by a hitchhiker fan like me, and offered the game downloads for free. And alongwith it, were the very famous (and rare) 50 plus episodes of the original 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' BBC radio episodes back from the 70s and the 80s.
In the end, i guess what saved me was the thing written on the Guide's cover - the simplest piece of advice ever given- 'DON'T PANIC'.
Download the game from here.
till nxt time
