| American game designer Steve Meretzky startet his career at
| Infocom, where he created some of the great adventure classics of
| the eighties. For instance, it was he who got the task of making
| the official Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game together with
| author Douglas Adams, a game that became a massive bestseller and
| is still remembered for its great jokes and devilish puzzles.
