Back then, me and my friends played that game, which had a very strange concept: Putting random coordinates and visiting a random planet, and if you were lucky you could encounter an alien and communicate with it.\r\nLater, I realized you don't have to put random coordinates. You're supposed to visit the first planet where you start, and the alien there will give coordinates to the next place to visit, and so on. So in \"Hitchhiker in the Galaxy\" (this game), you can just put a random name of a planet. If you're lucky, you might end up meeting an alien. Please note that I couldn't spend much time on this, so there aren't many random planets. However, I'm keeping a database of planets that players visited, and the most popular entries will have something there the next time. So as you're playing the game, you contribute into making this strange experience a bit more interesting.\r\n\r\nThank you!<\/p>","title":"Hitchhiker in the galaxy"}
