i think i got Douglas Adams' Bureaucracy! working on this version of Basilisk II but then i couldn't get it to close and when i tried shutting down the "computer" it just kept typing "quit" into the form it makes you fill out at the beginning

very Douglas Adams of it

this manual is a work of art. Douglas Adams, ADHD legend

you know the thing that made me finally seek assessment was my life-ruining difficulty with bureaucracy

@forestine I'll bet! I made it thru HHGTG but that one is something else 😅

@forestine That spoiler tag saved me! I've never played this one, but I love how hard these games are.

Still stuck badly on HHGTTG.

@forestine @ireneista For all it's other flaws, I'm pleased the 2005 movie did put Vogon bureaucracy on the screen. And it was marvellously well done.

@forestine Bureaucracy is a fun game, but it only really "works" once. Same with the H2G2 game. Starship Titanic at least has enough going on to warrant a few playthroughs.
