The Hitchhiker Adventure Game - 20th Anniversary Edition:DaddyD writes: "Infocom used to be THE name for interactive fiction. Or as we used to all them, tex adventures. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy used to be THE name for fiction. Period. Which is one of the reasons you will probably be reading lots about aging geeks getting all giddy about the Guide movie that's due out. It's also the reason that Infocoms game version of the Guide has attained near legendary status amongst a certain group of technofetishists. Some people would say it may have been one of the greatest games ever written. They would most likely be exagerating and probably trying to sell you something as well. Anyway, you can now find out. The BBC has put up a flashbased version of that classic text adventure, complete with new and nifty graphics designed by fans and professional artists alike. It should be fun, and much much easier than way back when (they have cheats posted on the same site, no work needed)." Link
monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.
