Telegraph Reviews Hitchhiker Movie, Approves

Posted by timothy on from the gives-hope dept.

LPetrazickis writes "The Telegraph has reviewed the movie adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The review notes that the film is every bit as much a loving tribute to Douglas Adams as it is a joyous comedy. American actors acquit themselves well, and the sense of intelligent wonder transfers well to the technicolour screen. The many incarnations of The Guide are summarized at the end."

  1. Impossible to complete? by nothingHappens · · Score: 1, Redundant
    The article summarizing incarnatios of the book mentions the comutyer game, which I presume to refer to the Infocom text adventure... but states that it was "famously impossible to complete." I know this to be false, however... a friend of mine back in junior high (late 80s) actually completed the game and went so far as to repeat the feat, whilst sending the entire game to his printer in progress. I believe I still have said printout in a file cabinet somewhere.

    Anyone know if the game is still available somewhere? I'd love to play it again...
