You can now download the source code for all Infocom text adventure classics
The source code of every Infocom text adventure game has been uploaded to code-sharing repository GitHub, allowing savvy programmers to examine and build upon some of the most beloved works of digital storytelling to date.
There are numerous repositories under the name historicalsource, each for a different game. Titles include, but are not limited to, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Planetfall, Shogun, and several Zork games—plus some more unusual inclusions like an incomplete version of Hitchhiker's sequel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Infocom samplers, and an unreleased adaptation of James Cameron's The Abyss.

The only way to get anywhere in HHGG was to abandon reason and embrace silliness. If I recall correctly, I got about halfway through the game and gave up because it just got too silly.
I remember them selling t-shirts that said, "I got the Babel Fish", which was a major accomplishment in the game.
