- To coincide with the new radio series of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/newseries.shtml), the BBC will be reviving the old Infocom Hitchhiker's text adventure game (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/3615046.stm), to appear on Radio 4's website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/). It's not just a straight port (http://www.douglasadams.com/creations/infocomjava.html), either - apparently 'the new version of the game will be illustrated by Rod Lord, who won a BAFTA for his graphics for the original Hitchhiker TV series.'

I bought the original series on VHS, many years ago, and have nearly worn it out. The sets and costumes are simply great, they remind me of Doctor Who. Jelly Baby, anyone?http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/thumbs.gif
