Would anyone happen to know where I can find a version of the old Infocom Hitchhiker's Guide text based game for download?

I've found two sites where you can play the game on their sites, but nowhere where you can download it to your pc. I used to have the game and during a hard drive crash a while ago, the game was lost into oblivion.

I have a fond nostalgia for that game, and i'd like to play it again anyway.

oh, and if you don't know where to get it, but happen to have it, I ummmm...wouldn't tell anyone if you sent it to me. [Wink]

This site seems legit. It has links to TONS of old classic PC games. Some links have torrents for download and any old ones that still are licensed have links to where you can buy them. Here is the HHGTTG game link:

Infocom's Greatest Game

The site is awesome, if only to read about games from the good old days. I got a few of these games and most run very well. Get "Dosbox" to run them, though. The Windows DOS mode just won't hack it.

Good luck!

I have it. Are you on AIM? You need an Apple IIe emulator to get it.
