Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic

Hitch a ride aboard the Starship Titanic. It has been twenty years since Douglas Adams first created the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was on radio before it was in print. Now he has created a humor filled CD ROM adventure called Starship TitanicÂ…

"First of all I said we have to make the environment as stunning and beautiful as it possibly can be. Very, very different from the standard idea of what the interior of a spaceship looks like. Its not like Star Wars or Star Trek. This is like a very, very grand hotel."

Populated by bots...

"Welcome guest number one to the Starship Titanic. The most glamorous galactic cruise ship experience in the whole of the space-time continuum."

What is remarkable is the creation of characters that respond to what you, the game player, type in...

"It gets quite spooky. Which is why we actually call it spooky talk. Because you sit down and you start interrogating these robots and you suddenly find they're staying up with you. Whatever it is you put in, they've got a response and they're coming back at you."

It is great entertainment. You can find a taste on the web at starshiptitanic.com.

Bootcamp may be heard daily on many CBS Radio Network Stations.
