Cool!

So did I, but I had such a hard time figuring it out I gave up.

Later when I was going to try again, my newer Windows version wouldn't allow me to even install it.

I had a similar issue with another older game based on Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous With Rama.

I read this book over a decade ago.  It was excellent and very much like Douglas Adams' style but completed by Terry Jones.  He did Adams justice.  A wacky tale like Monty Python meets Gene Roddenberry.

H.M.S. Titanic collided with an Iceberg . . this one collided with an Asteroid. Titanic is such an unlucky name, no wonder people avoid it.

OliverInk In reply to DoctorWhoOne [2019-04-14 20:44:09 +0000 UTC]

The unluckiness associated with the name Titanic directly stems, not from the finalized ship design, but from the ship owner ordering the ship's builder to half-ass the job in order to cut construction costs. 

Had the Titanic been built to spec, the iceberg probably would not have resulted in the ship sinking like it did. 

It's a case of stereotypical labeling where society ties an accident to a name.

JasonWolfe In reply to OliverInk [2019-04-16 06:13:33 +0000 UTC]

Harland and Wolffe absolutely did NOT cutu corners in ANY way when they built Titanic, nor did anyone else involved in her design and construction. She was built to the highest standards of the day, and out of the best available materials.

OliverInk In reply to JasonWolfe [2019-04-16 06:49:59 +0000 UTC]

It's my understanding the airtight bulkheads were designed to be completely solid pieces, but that when built they were not completed to that degree, thus allowing the water flooding into one chamber to cascade over the top of a bulkhead and flood adjoining sections.

JasonWolfe In reply to OliverInk [2019-04-16 13:19:58 +0000 UTC]

Titanic actually didn't feature watertight bulkheads, but rather watertight doors. The bulkheads themselves were not watertight.

Looks like it is built like a sub... perhaps because with a name like that the builders are prepared for it to sink?

OliverInk In reply to CaptainQuirk5 [2019-04-14 20:31:08 +0000 UTC]

The designer was some famous alien guy that envisioned the spaceliner as the pinnacle of grandeur and luxury. 

The ship's two owners were fighting each other at the time it was constructed, one of them intentionally sabotaging the vessel prior to its maiden voyage to collect the insurance money. 

The object of any hapless traveler (hitchhiker) would be to determine the cause of the ship's malfunctions, then find and restore the screwed up systems before it's too late...

That was quite a movie. Many people in the audience didn't seem to appreciate Chris Tucker's role as the screaming flamboyant black guy though. i thought he was one of the best parts of the movie, but other folks seem to compare him (unfavorably) to jar jar binks.

OliverInk In reply to CaptainQuirk5 [2019-04-14 23:26:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Ruby Rhod's bisexual artistic styling was a certainly a shock to some.

I saw him as just another of the odd assortment of overtly dramatic characters, which they all were.

My only complaint is the Great Evil in the movie seemed too one dimensional, rather than something you could get was something worth fighting.  

That was also my main problem with how Galactus was presented in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer... just some big nebulous cloud coming to gobble up the Earth, rather than the character Stan Lee came up with.
