There was a computer game released in 1984. It was an entirely text-based adventure. It's now online at:

It's his official site, so it's all above board. Obviously you can't save, and I must warn you it is fiendishly difficult, but definitely worth a look.

And if you need any help I'm onto Zaphod's ship, so ask me if it's before there.

Has anyone got the new book?
It's called The Last Salmon -with the first few chapters he wrote before he died : ( and a load of other stuff.
Worth a look-in I think.

Wanted it for Christmas, but santa must have forgotten.
