Starship Titanic C/W95/Us

Price: $34.95 - Savings of: $25.04 (42%) - Ships in 24 hours
At the heart of a galaxy of which we know nothing, the greatest, most advanced starship ever known has been built -- the Starship Titanic. It is fabulous, beautiful and technologically miraculous. On its maiden voyage it crashes into hyperspace and vanishes. The first you know of it is when you are sitting at home having a quiet evening in front of the TV and the most fabulous starship in the galaxy crashes into your home. You find your way on board (or not, if you just want to play the two minute version of the game) and are confronted with an interior which resembles a mixture of the Ritz, the Chrysler Building, Tutankhamen's tomb, and Venice. The ship is inhabited by traumatized robots, a lobotomized cyberintelligence, a frankly unhinged parrot and, as the ship takes off, taking you deep into unknown interstellar space, you realize that life on board as a third class passenger is going to be tough going. You find yourself in the grip of one of the most powerful forces known to modern man -- the desire for a free upgrade. Your task is to discover what has happened here, to reveal the deep conspiracy that lies behind this catastrophic failure, to repair the ship's intelligence and guide the ship back home. To do this you will have to gain the trust of the robots, which you do the same way you would with anybody else -- by talking to them. State-of-the-art language technology lets you do this. Strange characters, stunning environments, wild satire, and a series of puzzles of escalating weirdness all add up to... Starship Titanic -- The Ship That Cannot Possibly Go Wrong.

Starship Titanic [UNABRIDGED]
Douglas Adams, Terry Jones / Audio Cassette / Published November 1997
Price: $18.70 - Savings of: $3.30 (15%) - Ships in 24 hours
In this thoroughly satisfying and completely disorienting audiobook based on a story line by Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), Terry Jones has created an unforgettable tale of intergalactic travel and mishap. The saga of "the ship that cannot possibly go wrong" sparkles with wit, danger and confusion that will keep listeners guessing which reality they are in and how -- on Earth -- to find their way out again. At the center of the galaxy, a vast, unknown civilization is preparing for an event of epic proportions, the launching of the greatest, most gorgeous, most technologically-advanced starship ever built -- the Starship Titanic. An Earthling would see it as a mixture of the Chrysler Building, the tomb of Tutankhamen and Venice. But less provincial onlookers would recognize it as the design of Leovinus, the galaxy's most renowned architect. He is an old man now, and the creation of the Starship Titanic is the pinnacle achievement of his twenty-year career. A night before the launch, Leovinus is prowling around the ship having a last little look. With mounding alarm he begins to find things are not right. Unfinished workmanship, cybersystems that are not working correctly, robots that are colliding with doors. How could this have happened? Something, somewhere is terribly wrong . . . . And our story has just begun!
