Prologue:
It appears that after exactly 2.5 years, the team I've managed to gather to help out on this really made it. I hope this really gratifies all your wait on this project. It has been a really long way till here, and I think the final project might give you some joy. From the whole team, Have some great fun!!! Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Info:
Game is a remake of the original text-based game by Infocom released in 1984, however this is a point-and-click version.

Story:
Arthur Dent, wakes up with a terrible hungover from the late last night party at the pub, but his day isn't going to get any better.

As probably no one is interested in playing this game right now anyway, I recommend to rather read the philosophical dialogs of Mr James Spanos only just published at HardyDev. Especially since a good portion of people reading this thread is mentioned in them.

Happy towel day and congrats with this release!
Great to see the game finally getting to the next phase.
I enjoyed the whole process...

OH MY F*CKING CHRIST!!

Infocom's version was one of the first adventure games I've ever played. The problem for me was, that I was 14 years old and my english was very bad, so I could not finish it. Anyway, I liked the mood of the game, especially as I've read the books.

Nice to see that there is a remake, I definitly will play it.

On the meantime I've re-uploaded.

Snake has informed me that if you play this game while listening to Dark Side of the Moon from Pink Floyd, the songs match the game.

Don't call me god, I don't deserve it. ;-)

Heh I'm the 101st person who downloaded it. I wonder whether the one before me got any kind of gift or not.

Wonkyth · Wed 26/05/2010 06:22:45

Bravo Duals!
Downloading, and I might even have time to play it...

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Wed 26/05/2010 08:16:44

Good job getting it done. This month's mags has already succeeded!

kaputtnik · Wed 26/05/2010 08:46:10

This...is actually a game? Not only a jack-in-the-box installer that breaks my computer and then makes fun of me for not wearing a towel?

Great!
