Published by Infocom, designed by the late and great Douglas Adams himself, sporting some of the funniest prose on the planet and featuring the still unsurpassed ultra-complicated Babel Fish puzzle, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is both a text-adventure classic and one of the best games ever. What's more, being all (sophisticated) text THGTTG has aged remarkably well too.
To play a freeware illustrated version of the game simply follow this link to the BBC (more Douglas Adams links/games here), but to fully and truly enjoy THGTTG the way it was meant to, I'm afraid you'll have to grab the complete and pretty rare original Infocom box. Happily it just showed up on ebay:
Grab The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Boxed for Amiga 500). Seller based in US, ships worldwide.
