Whatever happened to Milliways?

[yendi]

Ever wonder what ever happened to Milliways, the never-published-sequel to Infocom's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game?

Andy Bau has put together a summary of what happened, with lots of emails, internal documents, and other stuff. There are even blog comments from the likes of Steve Meretzky, Dave Liebling, Amy Briggs. and Marc Blank, and downloadable z-code files of early prototypes.

Oh my god.

(I'll probably have more to say after I've read it, but Hitchhiker's was my favorite Infocom game of that era)

I just always assumed that it was eaten by a Grue.

Ditto. I still replay it once a year or so.

Heh.

Definitely something for me to check out when this weekend is over. Thanks.
