Galaga & Galaxian

You’ve been rescued by your friend Ford Prefect, who’s not actually an out-of-work actor.

He has given you a book (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), a towel, and is now telling you to put a fish in your ear.

It must be a Thursday; you’ve never quite gotten the hang of Thursdays.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is written by Douglas Adams and Steven Meretzky and based on Adams’ BBC radio series, television series, and the series of subsequent novelizations.

It’s one of the classic Interactive Fiction games produced by Infocom, labeled as Science Fiction and has a Standard Level of Difficulty.

Though divergent from the source material, the main characters, locations, and concepts are here.

Unlike the book, death can come quickly if Arthur fails to observe his surroundings, collect inventory, talk to people, and consult the Guide.

Galaga & Galaxian has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Galaga & Galaxian, loose is €20.42 and CIB is €42.84 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
