There is still a functional website that can be found [http://www.starshiptitanic.com/ here]. There is also a novelization of the game by [[Monty Python|Pythonite]] [[Terry Jones]], who claims to only having agreed to Adams' proposal to write said book if he could write it in the nude. Which he supposedly did.
Line 28:
* [[Dilating Door]]: The ship has two, the one visible in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mdVVcLIgKw the intro] and the door to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=oQDpxn31aho#t=1058s the arboretum], which 'grows' open and closed.
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: The game spanned multiple CD-ROMs. Some batches went out with the final disc in the set missing. Okay, not technically a bug, par se, but certainly game-breaking.
** This is due to there being an ACTUAL game breaking bug on the final disk in the first printing that was missing a file that had the game's interface with their [[Fun
* [[Gargle Blaster]]: The BarBot asks for your help in making a fairly nasty one. Interestingly, if you ask him for an ''actual'' [[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy|Gargle Blaster]], he replies [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|"Nobody likes a clever-dick".]]

Line 36:
* [[Guide Dang It]]: One review dubbed the game's difficulty "Impossible unless you're the author or telepathic".

* [[The Key Is Behind the Lock]]: In order to obtain a hammer, you need to press a button with a long stick. However, in order to obtain a long stick behind glass, you must break the glass with a hammer. {{spoiler|Fortunately, there's a parrot perch that you can use in place of the long stick.}}
Line 49:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The Art Deco inspired locations are mostly static, but ''wonderful'' to look at.
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: In a giant spaceship that can travel faster than light there is a pneumatic tube delivery system and phonograph cylinders for music.
* [[Sidenote Full Story]]: The whole story began as a [[Footnote Fever|footnote]] in ''[[The
* [[Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb]]: There is a bomb on board, in Titania's chambers. The button labeled "[[Shmuck Bait|Press to disarm bomb]]" actually ''arms'' the thing. {{spoiler|If you don't disable it before beating the game, the ship blows up in the ending.The password is "Nobody likes a clever-dick"}}
* [[Starship Luxurious]]: Of course, since it's a cruise ship in space.
