Comment Douglas Adams had a huge role in the game (Score 0) 541
He was a huge fan of interactive fiction (as it was known). I think he hoped that it would become much more mainstream than it did.
Its sad to think that computers became too fast too quickly for this rather cool medium to take off. There really is nothing to compare these kinda games with. A lot of the games were really well written, and very funny. A graphic adventure game is a very different kettle of fish, so its almost like comparing a book to a movie.
Anyone who hasn't played the text adventure of HHGTTG should definately do it (its free now).
Getting off topic (even more), its unfortunate that the second coming of low powered computers (like PDAs, mobile phones and the like) didn't help revive the genre.
*wipes tear* :P
