    Does an interactive version of "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" exist?

    Does an interactive version of "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" exist? It would be kind of cool to have something as envisioned in the book or movie- it would be ahem...a novel way of presenting a science fiction novel.

    I used to have a text-based game of it for the C64. I still have the "Don't Panic" button that came with it, displayed on my "museum" shelf. I used to keep it at my cubicle at work.

    I think I lost my Lint. My friend has the exact same game for his computer and received a "microscopic space fleet in a bag" instead of lint in a bag.

    And I still have it! I've been setting up the old C128 as a temporary "museum" exhibit, just for fun, and there it is in the box with the other software. I'm about ready to see if any of it works.

    Maybe. There is Interactive Fiction for the iOS, but I am not sure if h2gt2g will work. In theory it should.

    Here is the app link.

    It exists, it's called Wikipedia.

    In that case, I demand that Peter Jones read every entry to me ... otherwise I am going to complain long and loud to every one of the publishing corporations of Ursa Minor.
