Yes, but do you know all the steps you have to go through to get one? I mean, first you have to hang your robe on the hook, then place your towel over the grate, then put Ford's satchel in the robot's path...

A true indicator of intelligence. :D:

So, did you ever play Adams's other Infocom game, Bureaucracy? I liked it even better than HGTTG.

Afraid not. I did enjoy Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Heads or Tails of It, though.

And I never tried that one.

BTW, I still have the "Don't Panic" button that came with the HGTTG game, and wear it on appropriate occasions (lately on the morning of contests with the VM). The ball of fluff, though, is sadly lost.

Should have put it in the thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is.

Bureacracy came with some great items, too. My favorite was the triplicate form where every copy said something slightly different -- for example, on the front you might fill in a blank that said "Highest number you can think of"; on the second copy the same blank is indicated as "Number of children"; and on the back copy there's a dollar sign in front of the blank and the description "Donation to us (thank you!)". :D:

I understand that some of the supplements for the table-top RPG Paranoia included forms like that.
