Had he not been so rudely taken from us in 2001, famed author Douglas Adams, the man responsible for the immensely popular Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, would be turning 60 today.  

Over at my video game history site, I pay tribute to the man who gave us Vogon Poetry, the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon VI, and the number 42, as well as a few computer games.  Grab your towel and head over if you like.

Douglas Adams Remembered




Watching a youtube video of you playing a text adventure was very surreal for me. I wish I could have heard the whirring of the fan and the clicking of the keys :)

I remember really wanting Starship Titanic when it came out, but not getting around to buying it.
