Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Sound Effects

About This File

A collection of new sound effects for Doom (registered only), all carefully sampled from the BBC Audio Collection of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.

For those of you unawares, the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book, and also a wholly remarkable audio collection.

The BBC Radiophonic Workshop created most of these sound effects, however a few were provided by real-live actors in real-live recording studios.

I've chosen these effects to keep the game playable, that is, without massively interfering with the gameplay. I may be adding more sounds later, as my time permits. I stopped at 9 sounds, when I realized the file was already up to 156K. With the future installation of my time-space fabric folding desk accessory, I should have already done many more sound effects before I even typed this file. See the Guide under 'verb tenses'.

Seven sounds from (interestingly enough) the BBC radio version of "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" rather than the TV show. Covers doors, death, zaps and "aha, I see you" noises. Probably less amusing than it was in 1994, when Douglas Adams was still big in the sci-fi community, and the sci-fi community had a huge overlap with the computer games world. Nowadays I imagine Adams' work is becoming more and more obscure, as there is no more of it.

      Unloved

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      The Darkening Episode 2

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
