The BBC has taken the old text-based Hitchhiker's Guide game you used to play in the library at school, and jazzed it up with a bulky interface and lumpy graphics.
I made it 19 moves before I was crushed by my collapsing house.
maybe you'll do better. (via boingboing)
Your house was bulldozed?? You have to lie down in front of the bulldozer in order to get him to stop. He won't run you over.
