Don't miss the response in thread from ST developer Yoz Grahame.

I have the Windows 95 DVD version with all the extras, including the 176-page Official Strategy Guide (from the back cover: "UNCENSORED PHOTOS of DOUGLAS ADAMS in the VERY ACT OF WRITING!", "DESCRIPTIONS of natural language parsing engines and object-oriented programming by people who ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT!"). Even with the guide ("SOLUTIONS so complete we despise you for needing to use them!"), I found the game a bit slow-going, and eventually gave up on it. I bought it for my kids, but I'm not sure if they ever finished it, either.

My brothers and I, big adventure and Adams fans, hotly anticipated this game at the time. Unfortunately it was no where near the epic levels of awesome set by the Infocom game. So much meh and so buggy that we didn't even finish it.

Be sure to read the comments on that thread. Awesome post and really nice to see this, after all that N stands for Noel.

Merry Christmas everybody and thank you Anigbrowl!

Awesome. I've been looking for a way to run this, and tried to get info from any current copyright holders (no replies at all), and haven't been successful at all.

Now I just need to wrangle whoever holds it now, and beg them to let me / someone re-write it for modern systems.

I remember playing this when it came out. It was intriguing, but incredibly difficult! I was always curious about what happened in the end, since some bug prevented me from finishing it. I may just have to watch the video.

I have a Windows version. I don't know if it runs under Win7 but I think emulating Win95 is easier for most people than emulating an old Mac platform. If anyone is interested, let me know.
