Infocom's Hitchhiker Game Reborn

Old school text-gamers take note.

BoingBoing hips us to a hacker who has update Infocom's classic game based on the Douglas Adams' novel, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Now it runs as an instant message game that you can play on your cellphone. How cool is that?

Want more? The other day, I was checking out an emulator of the first Multi-User Dungeon - another early text-based game.
