IMPORTANT! Our records show that you do not have a license to operate this
|
|
software. Normally, you would be required to complete a License Application
|
|
Form and mail it (with proof of purchase) to our Licensing Department, and
|
|
then wait the customary four to six months for processing.
|
|
|
|
Luckily, for your convenience, we have, at the last minute and at great
|
|
expense, installed a remarkable new on-line electronic application form on
|
|
this very disk, which will be processed by our modern 24-hour computer
|
|
service moments after you fill it in.

Bureaucracy! Everyone, at one time or another, feels bound up in an endless
|
|
swathe of red tape. In Bureaucracy, best-selling humorist Douglas Adams
|
|
draws on his own battles with beadledom to create a hilarious misadventure.
|
|
You'll find yourself in the midst of a bureaucratic muddle so convoluted
|
|
that you can't help but laugh.
|
|
|
|
You've just landed a great new job and moved to a spiffy house in a nice
|
|
little town. You're even being sent to Paris this very afternoon for a
|
|
combination training seminar and vacation. What could possibly go wrong?
|
|
The answer, of course, is everything. When the bank refuses to acknowledge
|
|
your change-of-address form, you'll find yourself entangled in a series of
|
|
bureaucratic mishaps that take you from the feeding trough of a greedy
|
|
llama to the lofty branches of a tree deep in the Zalagasan jungle.
|
|
|
|
The distinctive humor that made The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy a
|
|
runaway success will keep you in stitches as you confront a series of
|
|
bureaucratic puzzles and experience the thrill of outsmarting the powers
|
|
that be.

NOTE: this game is patched to remove the in-game copy protection. When you
|
|
are in the paranoid's house, he will not ask you any questions.
