I am not a fan of applets (actually, I despise them), but I have found the one applet that almost justifies their creation. Anyone a former Infocom fan? How about a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fan? If you are both, you’ll love this one – Infocom’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (circa 1984) played online in its original text form at http://www.douglasadams.com/creations/infocomjava.html. Brings tears to the eyes!
