Every so often I'll have another run at the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure from 1984.

You wake up. The room is spinning very gently round your head. Or at least it would be if you could see it which you can't.

It is pitch black.

Most satisfying death in a video game I can remember

As you part your curtains, you see that is a bright morning, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the meadows are blooming, and a large yellow bulldozer is advancing towards your home.

Must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang of those.

Adams also wrote the game ‘Bureaucracy’, similarly rather difficult. And later ‘Starship Titanic’, which is a 3d adventure with textual conversations.

Heard of ST, but not Bureaucracy, will need to check that out, thanks! 👍
