I know this is a game but I posted it here because its related heavily to a radio program and none of the lovely lady Finns would have any idea what it or I am on about...

Do we all remember back in the 1980`s the development of text based games like Leisure Suit Larry etc.. I personally spent hours getting nowhere fast and dieing more frequently than I have had hot dinners.

Well any way in 1984 Douglas Adams co wrote Star ship Titanic, which was an appendage of Hitch Hikers as a award winning text game, you can see all the blah at the web site I will post.

Anyway the BEEB have created a new version based on the original HHG2U with Arthur Dent, starting with the Vogon Demolition of Earth.

(By this point any sane person or lady will have clicked on another thread wondering what the hell the keyboard-sucking loon is on about)

Click on this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/game.shtml and have a play and let us know how you are getting on ,,, good luck ..
