Douglas' latest venture is The Digital Village (TDV); the first product will
be Starship Titanic, which is billed as an Adventure Game:

	STARSHIP TITANIC promises to deliver the same wry humor and
	intergalactic intrigue that has earned Adams millions of fans.
	In the adventure game,STARSHIP TITANIC, the sleek, most
	technologically advanced starship everbuilt, vanishes into hyper
	space, except that "everything's got to be somewhere..."

	[...]

	Whisked into subspace, the player must return to Earth (the Titanic
	denies its existence) by consulting the ship's video records, virtual
	reality files,and a fully animated character, Clunk, the only
	remaining crew member.

	[...]

There is also a press release about a collaboration with Apple:

	http://product.info.apple.com/pr/press.releases/1996/q2/960209.pr.rel.digital.html

which has an email address for a publicity person at TDV.

Given all this, it's likely that DNA will want to hold onto HHG.
I wonder if Bureaucracy will revert to him in a similar fashion?
