Can somebody please put me out of my misery and tell me the Hitchhikers video game was released for the ZX81?
I'm sure I remember playing it back in the day, and as it was just a text adventure, and the timing is right, it seems feasible, but the internet denies all knowledge of it.
Does anybody have this, or at least confirm I'm not remembering it all wrong (it was over 30 years ago I last had a zeddy, after all...)
If it did exist in this reality, I'd quite like to track a copy down at some stage too.
Thanks

I was just thinking I didn't think it was released on the ZX81, but then I found:

Maybe you should design the ultimate computer to answer your question?

There are four lights!
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb

Nice find, thanks Rich!
I believe that was the game I was looking for, albeit not the actual Hitchhikers game - a Romulan Tyrant just attacked me with his light sabre... playing fast and loose with the tortuous Galactic Copyright laws there I think!

Is this the ZX81 game that came on Your Computer mag back in 82ish?
