The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (computer game) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Developer(s) Infocom Publisher(s) Infocom Designer(s) Douglas Adams and Steve Meretzky Engine ZIL Release date(s) 1984 Genre(s) Interactive fiction Mode(s) Single player Rating(s) n/a Platform(s) Amiga, Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, TRS-80, TI-99/4A, Macintosh Media 3½" or 5¼" disk System requirements No special requirements Input Keyboard The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is an interactive fiction computer game based on the seminal comic science fiction series of the same name. It was designed by series creator Douglas Adams and Infocom's Steve Meretzky, and was first released in 1984 for the Apple II, Macintosh, Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST and the IBM PC.Contents [hide] 1 Plot 2 Feelies 3 Notes 4 External links [edit] Plot Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. The game loosely mirrors a portion of the series' plot, beginning with the impending destruction of Arthur Dent's house and subsequent demolition of the Earth by Vogons. After being rescued from open space by the Heart of Gold and figuring out how to activate the Infinite Improbability Drive, the player is hurled through space and time, assuming the roles of Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Trillian at various intervals. (The question of the player character's identity at any time can be answered by the innovative WHO AM I? command.) For the majority of the game, Arthur Dent is the main player character. An in-game virtual edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy provides a plethora of major and minor characters, locations, and miscellanea from the series that can be referenced, if not directly encountered. Topics ranging from Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters to Galaxia Woonbeam can be looked up with the command CONSULT GUIDE ABOUT The ultimate goal of the game is casually mentioned by Zaphod in an offhanded manner: finding the legendary lost planet of Magrathea. While the other characters relax in the ship's sauna, however, Arthur has to jump through a number of hoops to collect a bizarre array of tools and four types of fluff before the Heart of Gold gets anywhere near the planet. The problem of managing this burgeoning inventory is neatly handled by a humorously ill-defined object called "That thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is", which has two important attributes: a nearly limitless capacity for holding other objects, and a penchant for showing up in the player's inventory after seemingly being lost. When the characters finally set foot on Magrathea, the game ends with the never-fulfilled promise of a thrilling sequel. [edit] Feelies Most Infocom games contained "feelies", bonus novelty items included to enhance the immersiveness of the game. The feelies provided with this game included: A pin-on button with "Don't Panic!" printed in large, friendly letters (opposite of a "Panic Button") A small plastic packet containing "pocket fluff" (a cottonball) Order for destruction of Arthur Dent's house Order for destruction of Earth written in "Vogon" Official Microscopic Space Fleet (an empty plastic bag) "Peril Sensitive Sunglasses" (a pair of opaque black cardboard "sunglasses") How Many Times Has This Happened to You?, an advertising brochure for the fictional guidebook/encyclopedia The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy No tea [edit] Notes HHGTTG is generally considered to be the first interactive fiction game to intentionally cheat players. Adding to its reputation for deviousness was "The Babel Fish Dispenser", a wickedly complicated puzzle appearing very early in the game. Failure to "solve" the Babel fish puzzle did not kill the player, but rendered the remainder of the game unwinnable. That particular puzzle became so notoriously difficult that Infocom wound up selling T-shirts bearing the legend, "I got the Babel Fish!" [1] Another fiendish puzzle involved the ten tools scattered throughout the game's locations. One of the final puzzles involved Marvin asking for a particular tool to use in unjamming the ship's hatch. If the player had failed to collect ten, Marvin would invariably ask for one of the missing ones. Likewise, while the opening section of the game closely resembles the opening scenes of the original radio play and book, there are several actions that the player must perform in order to make the game winnable. In spite of all of this, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was rated as "Standard" difficulty. Curiously, the player is seldom given an actual purpose, apart from the implicit goal stated by the inventory item of "no tea". Much of the game is spent simply reacting to situations, such as the impending deaths variously threatened by bulldozers, matter-transference hangovers, the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, or nuclear missiles. This lack of direction had little effect in deterring fans of Adams' work. The illustrated version by Rod Lord. The Infocom version of Hitchhiker's Guide quickly became a fan classic; it was one of five top-selling Infocom games to be produced in Solid Gold versions, with a built-in hint system not included in the originals. The game was re-released by Activision in several collection packages before rights reverted to Adams, enabling The Digital Village to re-release it as a web-based Java applet. Originally published as a fund-raising tool on the 1997 Comic Relief website, it took up permanent residence on Adams' own website the following year. On September 21, 2004 the BBC launched the 20th Anniversary Edition to coincide with the initial radio broadcast of the Tertiary Phase. Sporting a Flash user interface, and illustrated by Rod Lord (who also produced the guide animations for the Hitchhiker's TV series), it won the Interactive BAFTA Award for Best Online Entertainment[2] on March 2, 2005. Once BAFTA judging had completed, the BBC re-launched the game in two distinct versions to showcase new artwork for scenes and objects deliberately omitted from the first release. While both editions retain Rod Lord's illustrations, all placeholder graphics were replaced by artwork designed and sent in by contest participants. One edition includes the artwork of overall winner Nolan Worthington, the other features the work of runners-up. The original text-only version appeared in an exhibition called "Game On", which has toured museums worldwide since 2002, representing the text-based genre of computer games.

Just'a Lotta Animals From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Just'a Lotta Animals From left to right: Green Lambkin, the Crash, Wonder Wabbit, Captain Carrot, Aquaduck, the Batmouse, and Super-Squirrel. From Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew #14, 1983. Art by Scott Shaw. Publisher DC Comics First appearance The New Teen Titans #16 (1982) (first mentioned) Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew #14 (1983) (first appearance) Created by Roy Thomas and Scott Shaw Team status Active Base(s) of operations Space station satellite in orbit above Earth-C-Minus Roster Current roster Super-Squirrel The Batmouse Wonder Wabbit Green Lambkin The Crash Aquaduck Elongator The Martian Anteater Zap-Panda The Item Green Sparrow Stacked Canary Firestork Hawkmoose The Rat Tornado Notable former members Just'a Lotta Animals is a fictional superhero team that appeared in stories published by DC Comics. The team was an anthropomorphic funny animal parody of the Justice League of America. Just'a Lotta Animals originally appeared in the series Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew as the name of a superhero comic book written and drawn by Captain Carrot's alter ego, Roger Rodney Rabbit. Various panels of the Just'a Lotta Animals' comic that were shown in the Captain Carrot series were often parodies of classic Justice League storylines. In Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew #14 and #15, in a storyline titled "Crisis On Earth-C!," Just'a Lotta Animals were finally revealed to actually exist, on a parallel Earth named "Earth-C-Minus" (versus the world of the Zoo Crew, which was named "Earth-C"). The two teams united to defeat the villains of the story, Dr. Hoot (an owl mad scientist) and Feline Faust (a cat sorcerer; an analog of Justice League villain Felix Faust).Contents [hide] 1 Location 2 Members 3 Enemies 4 See also [edit] Location Just'a Lotta Animals lived on the parallel world of Earth-C-Minus, and made its headquarters in an orbiting satellite space station. Events and characters on Earth-C-Minus were considered to be fictional to natives of Earth-C, similar to how events and characters of Earth-Two were considered as fictional on Earth-One. Additionally, events and characters on Earth-C-Minus paralleled those of the then-mainstream DC Universe of Earth-One. Like Earth-C, the names of characters and locations tended to make heavy use of various animal-based puns. After the events of the 1985 miniseries Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was revealed that Earth-C-Minus (and Earth-C) survived intact, as they were actually "alternate dimensions" instead of parallel Earths.[citation needed] [edit] Members The main members of Just'a Lotta Animals were: Super-Squirrel: a squirrel; analog of Superman. Super-Squirrel has a vast array of "Chiptonian" (Kryptonian) superpowers, including flight, super-vision, and super-strength. His main weakness was to "chiptonite" (kryptonite). Super-Squirrel lived in the city of "Muttropolis" (Metropolis). The Batmouse: a mouse; analog of Batman. Batmouse used a wide array of gadgets in his fight against his various foes, often with the aid of his sidekick, Boyd the Robin Wonder (a robin). Wonder Wabbit: a rabbit; analog of Wonder Woman. Wonder Wabbit made use of her "Animal-zon" (Amazon) superpowers and tools in fighting crime, including super-strength, invulnerable bracelets, a magic lasso, and a see-through robot airplane. Wonder Wabbit originally came from "Parrot-Eyes Island" (Paradise Island). Green Lambkin: a male lamb; analog of the Silver Age Green Lantern. Green Lambkin used his power ring in fighting crime; however, his ring had two weaknesses: a 24-hour charge limit (after which it had to be recharged) and was useless against the color yellow. Green Lambkin was a member of the "Green Lambkin Corps" (Green Lantern Corps), and served the Goat-Guardians of the planet Uh-Oh (Oa). The Crash: a turtle; analog of the Silver Age Flash. The Crash was gifted with the power of vast superspeed. According to Captain Carrot #14, he was presumably inspired to become the Crash by reading comic books of (Earth-C's) the Terrific Whatzit as a youth, just as Barry Allen (the Flash of Earth-One) was inspired by reading comics of the adventures of Jay Garrick (the Flash of Earth-Two). Aquaduck: a duck; analog of Aquaman. Aquaduck, like Aquaman, presumably possessed the ability to swim at terrific speeds, survive the ocean depths, breathe underwater and communicate with all sea life (though the latter might not be as impressive in light of the sentience of animals on Aquaduck's world). Other members of Just'a Lotta Animals include: Green Sparrow: a sparrow; analog of Green Arrow. Stacked Canary: a canary; analog of Black Canary. Hawkmoose: a moose; analog of the Silver Age Hawkman. The Martian Anteater: an anteater from Mars (of the Earth-C-Minus universe); analog of the Martian Manhunter. The Item: an elephant; analog of the Silver Age Atom. Elongator: an alligator; analog of the Elongated Man. Firestork: a stork; analog of Firestorm. Zap-Panda: a panda; analog of Zatanna. The Rat Tornado: a rat; analog of the Silver Age Red Tornado. [edit] Enemies Enemies of Just'a Lotta Animals or its individual members include: Kanga Roo: a kangaroo; analog of Kanjar Ro. He once enslaved Just'a Lotta Animals in his "slave ship of space." Lex Lemur: a lemur; analog of Lex Luthor. Super-Squirrel's archenemy. The Porker: a pig; analog of the Joker. Archenemy of the Batmouse. Hector Hamhock: a pig; analog of Hector Hammond. Enemy of Green Lambkin. The Weather Weasel: a weasel; analog of the Weather Wizard. Enemy of the Crash. The Shaggy Dawg: a very hairy dog; analog of the Shaggy Man. Feline Faust: analog of Felix Faust. Amazoo: an android composite of the parts of a dozen different animals; the Earth-C-Minus analog of Amazo. Brainy Yak, presumably a Yak and an analog of Brainiac, is mentioned once. A duck analog of early Justice League foe Xotar, the Weapons Master is seen in a panel of one Just'a Lotta Animals comic page.
