This game sparked a large part of what drove me to learn about computers. I enjoyed the Apple II version. I then read all of Douglas Adams books. He was a true artist of language and humor.

I have the original game for Commodore 64, it IS an hilarious take on the original story. I tried the game without knowing anything about it. That was a mistake. I am going to try it again... might pull out my C=128-D and play.
Great game, HIGHLY recommended. I like the Zork I II and III series. I had starfall, the Leather Goddess of Phobos, The Enchanter, Suspended, Wishbringer I'm a real fan of Infocom, and gonna have fun!!!
Thanks for this!!!

A purely text game. You really need to know the book to play well IMHO.

Firematch - that's a pretty hefty computer for a game like this :D

A lot of these old text games only include the .dat or .z# file.
Since there are no executables for DOS, using http://nitfol.sourceforge.net/ will run them. (I have a multi-core CPU with Win7 Ultimate Edition, and it works fine.)
http://www.ifwiki.org/index.php/Category:Interpreter has a list of interpreters for other IF games, but I haven't used any others yet.
