Extras

Characters

Marvin is a paranoid android in the Waiting Area at Milliways. He looks depressed.
The waiter at Milliways appears as a small green blur. He looks impatient.
Zaphod is a two-headed man, the former President of the Galaxy, and a fugitive. He looks thirsty.
Douglas Adams greets you in the First Class Area at Milliways. He looks excited.

Inventory

a reservation card. You're carrying it. Read it; it has your reservation code on it. Tell the code to the waiter after you have the babel fish.
a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Buy it when inside the restaurant; Zaphod mentions the drink when you talk to him about anything. Give the blaster to Zaphod; he'll fall unconscious.
a first-class pin. Take it from Zaphod when he's passed out; you'll automatically wear it. Now you can enter the First Class Area and win the game.

Honourable Mention:

a babel fish. Marvin puts one of these into your ear when you ask him about it, but it doesn't appear in your visible inventory. The fish is a universal translator. You need the fish in order to talk to the waiter, who doesn't speak English. It's unclear what is the trigger that makes him offer the fish to you; possibly you have to try several different actions first.

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!
