Here (via VOGONS). Probably related - not a very "anonymous" source :)

Awesome! Too bad that was never completed, would have been a lot of fun...The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was one of my favourite text adventures.
[quote]Probably related[/quote]Nice pictures, I'm always glad to see I'm not the only one with stupid amounts of clutter hanging about! :)

I don't know if "fun" is quite the word for it, but it was certainly an interesting, playful and formally experimental experience.

Oh, boy, that was a very fascinating read. Thanks.

Wow, that was a long, interesting read. It kicked up a lot of dirt though, and I must say the comments have been just as exciting as the story itself.
I'm not sure where I stand on the issue (whether the story should have been released without Mr. Biao doing some real digging) but it was very, very fascinating nonetheless.
I certainly wasted my early morning reading through it all!

So did I. Very interesting indeed, although the author's approach certainly is disputable. Apart from that, Galley's second design notes sound really promising and the "Restaurant" is my favourite book in the series. A pity, the game wasn't made...

Yeah. But to his credit, he clearly differentiates what is factual and what is just an extrapolation.

Pity it is. But thinking in a retrospect, I'd still prefer Bureaucracy over any possible Hitchhikers sequel. So maybe, it turned out for the better, if only one of two games could be created.
