INTRODUCTION
'The shipthat could not possibly go wrong ...'That's the begining of this 'shortand easy' adventure (it should have been an interesting game if not becauseof the short story). Basically you have to collect several parts of Titania'sbody that were scattered around the ship (ears, nose, eyes, etc), assemblythem, then use Titania to fly back to your homeworld. Sounds too easy ???Let's just see if it's really that simple ....
As usual to begin an adventuregame, you have to insert the Starship Titanic CD in your computer (yeah...I'm not joking. It's actually happen inside the game). Anyway, the Titanicship will crash down and land at your house. Now it's up to you to fixthis big ship and come back safely to your house. Answer all the questionand don't forget to bring your picture of the house. Climb in and enterthe elevator. Push that top button and you're ready to begin this adventure.

GAMEBOOMER'S Hints, Cheats, and Walkthroughs
Douglas Adams is best known for his five-part trilogy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but the late author also dabbled in video games. There was the, as well as Starship Titanic, a video game based on a brief reference in Life, the Universe and Everything, the third book in the series. Unfortunately, while the former is still readily playable in a web browser, the latter has become abandonware, largely unplayable on modern computers. But thankfully that's changed: today GOG.com, a site that specializes in making classic PC games playable, has released a DRM-free version of Starship Titanic for Windows.First released in 1998, Starship Titanic is a point-and-click adventure that takes place aboard the titular space vessel.
The game begins when the majestic craft crashes into your house. 'You find your way on board. It is like no alien spaceship you have ever imagined. It most resembles a mixture of the Queen Mary, the Ritz, the Chrysler Building and Tutankhamen's tomb, with Venice thrown in for good measure,' explains the game's official site, which.Like most of Adams' work, Titanic is full of both humor and frustration. It features a language parser called SpookiTalk, which lets you talk with the malfunctioning robots that live on the ship. When it works it's great, but it also requires very specific language to progress; it often feels like you're trying to guess what Adams was thinking at the time he designed the game.
It's an experience best enjoyed with a walkthrough handy. If you're brave enough, you can.
