Galactic Hitchhiker
This game is, according to this site:
https://intfiction.org/t/early-british- ... ures/46425 possibly the earliest surviving British text adventure game. More details can be found here:

I downloaded the file from the stardot forum, and altered it very slightly (added padding at the end, the code is identical).
The game seems to work well on the core. To run it, select the MonUK02 monitor, and set the terminal width to 46 characters. Then reset and select "Monitor" then press L and load the file. There is a walkthrough here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA36YiR ... l=benkid77 of it being played on an emulator.
I am attaching both the game itself, and also a new pre-release version of the core. The only difference between this version and the previous one, is that I have increased the maximum text file size to well beyond the size of this file.
The original name of the file, BTW, was ghpart1. I have no idea if there was a part2...
