Once you get your bearings, your goal, at first, is to upgrade your ticket a few times to higher classes, and then eventually find all of the missing pieces of Titania, the computer that controls the ship. And while you can skip through the short walking transitions by holding down the Shift button, you can’t skip the long elevator or Pellerator rides, which again, makes navigation remarkably tedious. While this was probably done to make the game world larger, and therefore more realistic, it also makes most of the ship feel strangely disconnected. Beyond the initial embarkation lobby and a hallway that connects a few other areas, the staterooms are all accessed by elevators, and the rest of the ship is only accessible through a transportation vehicle called a Pellerator. It’s actually pretty fun to watch, except for how often you’ll see them, since most of the puzzles revolve around ferrying items from one corner of the ship to the other. But rather than consisting of static screens, when you move from node to node, there’s a very quick transitional video that’s sped up and extremely blurry, as if you were stumbling drunkenly through the ship’s corridors.
It’s a bit like Myst, with the computer generated graphics and all. The whole game is viewed from the first person perspective, with a single cursor to indicate movement and interaction. In keeping with its namesake, it has an astoundingly beautiful futuristic art deco design. The Starship Titanic is a gorgeous vessel. You are invited onboard as its first (and only) guest to repair the ship, and try to figure out exactly what went wrong in the first place.
Although not officially part of the Hitchhiker’s universe, the game picks up with that detail, as the Starship Titanic has somehow ended up right in the middle of your living room. promptly disappeared into nothingness) on its first journey. The idea of Starship Titanic came from a throwaway line in Life, The Universe, and Everything, the third Hitchhiker’s book, which described a luxurious intergalactic cruiser that suffered from Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure (i.e. And yet, somewhere along the line, something went terribly wrong. The game was conceived by Douglas Adams, not only one of the most well regarded comedy/sci-fi writers of our time, but also the man associated with The Hitchhiker’s Guide of the Galaxy, well known as one of the genre’s best text adventures. I then installed Starship Titanic off the ISO's I downloaded and it seems to be working fine, so I'm happy.Īll in all it'd probably be a little more convenient if I could just run the game I paid for directly from Steam, however.On paper, Starship Titanic sounds completely fantastic.

I then got a hold of the installer for MS Virtual PC 2004 and extracted the files from the MSI so I could install the Guest Additions from it which support Windows 95 (the 2007 version does not).

I then scoured the net again to solve the "protection error" startup fail, downloading and running a script that installs required Win95 updates to fix the >2.1GHz CPU issue without being able to load Windows 95 itself off an ISO image. I found a boot floppy VFD that supported a CD drive and booted it, mounted the ISO backup I had of my old Windows 95B install disc, and installed it. I installed it and created a new Virtual Machine and selected Windows 98 as the type.

I scoured the net and found ISO's of the original install CD's, then downloded Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (2004 was no good because I have 64-bit Windows 7 installed) I had the same problem, but I came up with a workaround.
