The text games required a level of patience most people don't have
nowadays. They also more or less demanded that you create maps, take
notes and so on. My nerd cousin could do it, but no one else was willing
to.

 
I didn't have the patience back in the day either. I remember one based on
'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.  I didn't care that much for the
book and I never got further than a bulldozer driving through Ford
Prefect's house or something like that.

I wasn't a big fan of the book either and thought the movie was awful.
The TV show seemed to be okay from the limited exposure I got to it.
Either way, you were at the very beginning of the story. I only checked
out the story because I was told that it was science fiction genius, but
I guess it was a very different time when that applied.

Hitchhikers guide is one of my favorite books!

I tried reading it, but found it too twee and stopped after a few pages.
