Infocom, HHGG, and a blast from the past.

For anyone who grew up as a computer geek in the 1980s, this blog post from Andy Baio will be of very great interest. It seems that he has come across the network drive from Infocom, the premier interactive fiction company of that time, and that one of the things on the drive is a fragment of an unreleased sequel to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game. There's not much to the fragment itself, but the comments on the site and the emails that he quotes are priceless.

Enjoy. (Link)
