|
Don't Panic! Relax, because everything you need to know about playing The
|
|
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is contained in the pages of this manual.
|
|
In this story, you will be Arthur Dent, a rather ordinary earth creature
|
|
who gets swept up in a whirlwind of interstellar adventures almost beyond
|
|
comprehension.
|
|
|
|
As the story begins, bulldozers are waiting to reduce your house to rubble
|
|
to make way for a motorway bypass. While you attempt to deal with this
|
|
problem, your rather strange friend Ford Prefect drops by to tell you that
|
|
the Earth is about to be demolished to make way for an interstellar bypass!
|
|
If you survive this double threat, you'll embark on a series of inter-
|
|
galactic misadventures even funnier than your worst nightmares!
|
|
|
|
A special note for people who have read the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to
|
|
the Galaxy". Although the opening of the game is fairly similar to the
|
|
book, the story quickly diverges, with lots of new material and different
|
|
twists. Although familiarity with the story may make a few of the early
|
|
puzzles easier, if you rely too heavily on this previous knowledge you will
|
|
certainly end up getting misled.
