I actually know which one since I learned it from the same game. A
buffered analgesic I believe it was you needed to take to stop your
bedroom from spinning. I learned it because I watched someone play
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy way back when. Not sure when or on
what though, I have a vague memory of a green monochrome monitor.

Sorry, all I have left as a prize is a small plastic baggie containing
a microscopic space fleet and some peril-sensitive sunglasses made of
black cardboard.
