   Yah, I was looking up some appropriate (and different) door games that I   
   might possibly use & I remembered a great one that I used to play in the 80's   
   called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  Great game based on the novels   
   of Douglas Adams.   
      
   So, I go out looking for this, thinking by now it's gotta be freeware by now   
   & there HAD to have been someone who ported it to dos.   
      
   WRONG!   
      
   This game, written by Infocom in 1984 supports only:  Amiga, Amstrand CPC,   
   Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, Browser (ok, a new modification), Commodore   
   64, DOS, Mac, PC Booter, TI-99/4A, TRaSh-80, and TRaSh-80 CoCo.   
      
   So, seeing that the game is OLD to begin with and it only supports operating s   
   ystems that went out with prohibition, you'd think it'd be cheap or even   
   FREE....   
      
   WRONG!   
      
   They want $74 bucks for that damn thing!  I think back in the 80's I paid   
   like $10 to register my copy so that I had something better than ZORK on my   
   system.   
      
   Ya, ya, ya...I'm old...I think I broke my hip...   
      
   But, SERIOUSLY, WTF?!?!  I think someone's got a babel fish inserted into the   
   wrong oriface...
