To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the classic Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Infocom text adventure game the BBC (British Broadcasting Service) has put together a wonderful re-creation of the game using Flash. This version has added quality illustrations to the original text adventure.

The game, originally published in 1984, contains rare writing by the author and is - in Adams' words - "full of extraordinary ways of dying".

Users can play a number of characters from the book, collect over 40 items and read dozens of Hitchhiker's Guide entries.

The new version of the game will be illustrated by Rod Lord, who won a BAFTA for his graphics for the original Hitchhiker TV series
