Last weekend, I took a trip to a personal computer museum that I'd heard about. It was an entertaining outing, and I got to see machines that I've used myself and machines I'd only heard about (at times side by side). I noticed that the museum's original IBM PC was running Infocom's interactive fiction adventure game The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which did start a few associations in my mind. That game, no doubt memorable to many through its connection to a "regular" book, was the one Infocom game I actually got to play while the company was still a going concern I sometimes read about in magazines... although I didn't finish it at the time, being hopelessly stuck on one problem. Or rather, perhaps, that one problem wasn't covered in the hint column of the computer magazine my family subscribed to...
Perhaps as if to make up for that... )
