A sad image, of two comic geniuses who have become ex-parrots, sure.
But also a joyous one, with the existence of the incredible body of work of each of them. This is a publicity still for Starship Titanic, the book written by Terry Jones, based on the computer game by Douglas Adams, Richard Creasey and Robbie Stamp for their company The Digital Village.
Starship Titanic wasn’t Adams’ first foray into computer games, having made the diabolical Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy text adventure for Infocom, as well as the Kafka-esque original work Bureaucracy. If you’d like to see, hear, smell the history of Infocom and Douglas Adams’ body of work there, visit my Infocom history here at The Dot Eaters.
