Trivia
According to
a source at Wikipedia, one of the more playful elements of this game -- the "tricked you!" transition from text-based gameplay in the mundane world through the movie screen into graphical gameplay in the fantasy world -- was a brilliant piece of game design lateral thinking courtesy of author
Douglas Adams during a week-long brainstorming session in London.
(Also reflecting Mr. Adams' peculiar sense of humour was the inclusion of the verb "
adumbrate" in the list of selectable actions... certainly not one with many applications in the game!)
