Are any of you familiar with the text adventure based on the book? If so, do you happen to know if there's actually a sequel for it?

EDIT: Text Adventure *Game*. Sorry, I should have been a little more specific.

Sequels can be good [img]tongue.gif[/img] But what would it be a guide to then, the universe?

There are also 4 "Hitchhiker " books in all.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is actually a trilogy in 5 books (as Douglas Adams always liked to say)-
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Life, the Universe and Everything
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
Mostly Harmless (Hitchhiker's Trilogy, No 5)

Mr Adams died far too young :(

Btw Mojo, are you talking about the "text adventure game based on the book" ?

Is Mr. Adams dead? Have I just missed a joke completely?

And yes, I was referring to the *game*. Not the books, or the BBC TV series. I think it was made by Infocom, if that helps.

How the game! That was one of my all time favorite infocom games. The closest they did to a sequel was "The leather goddess of Phobeo" or something like that. Douglas Adams was one of the writers for it I think.

Sadly the death of Douglas Adams is no joke, he died last year :(

Well, in that case, in memory of Douglas Adams, I'm not going to post for the remainder of the weekend. May not seem like much, but I can't think of what else to do... :(
