| | Starship Titanic - PC GAMING: The Cincinnati Enquirer |
 | | Starship Titanic should be commended for trying to bring back a game style that has long since been forgotten. | | | Starship Titanic recreates the text-based adventure reminiscent of the days when games didn't require gobs of RAM and weekly computer upgrades. | | | Although Titanic is full of shortcomings it does have one thing going for it -- Douglas Adams' wit. |

| | Starship Titanic serves as a great escape from the many shoot-'em-up games available today—sometimes it's good to take a break from games in which saving the world means blowing up everything in it. | | | Although Starship Titanic is a typical click-to-move graphical adventure game, it's also full of entertaining puzzles that require some pretty strong brainpower to solve. | | | Second, the overall gameplay in Starship Titanic is vastly superior to that of adventure titles such as Riven and Myst—it gives you the ability to carry on real conversations with characters by simply typing your question. |

| | Adventure Gamers : Starship Titanic |
| | You are the only human to be found in the game; the starship is populated by humanoid robots who are quite well animated and often humorous in both their voices and their words (chalk that up to the Monty Python team). | | | In the case of Starship Titanic, the game made promises of a revolutionary completely open conversation system allowing you to ask the various ship robots anything you want. | | | Starship Titanic makes for some nice screen shots and features some beautiful animation, but that's where the positives end. |

| | MobyGames - Starship Titanic |
| | Starship Titanic is a 1st-person adventure game, described by some as a fusion of Myst if it had been conceived by Douglas Adams (author of Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy and creative force behind this game). | | | With a basic set of navigational controls, the player must explore the starship's many rooms, obtaining and manipulating objects and conversing with many different characters in an effort to get better lodgings and set things right along the way. | | | Without warning, a loud crash introduces you to the Starship Titanic: The Ship That Cannot Possibly Go Wrong. |

| | Game Reviews: Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic |
| | he most luxurious starship in space has been lost during its maiden voyage, and it's fitting that the ship's name is Titanic. | | | As the game begins, the Titanic literally comes crashing down on the player's home, and the butler-like Doorbot recruits players to board the ship and save the day. | | | A first-class cabin and access to all areas of the ship would have been nice, but what players have to settle for is third-class passage and the ability to work their way up the social order. |

| | Starship Titanic is an interactive game by Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy). | | | The premise of the game is this...you are sitting at home when a bizarre starship crashes into your roof. | | | Starship Titanic hosts graphics that exceed the quality in Myst and brings along a dry British wit that is truly classic. |

| | Starship Titanic |
| | Unlike a game like Riven where nearly every screen carries a unique and often emotional significance, the beautiful artwork in Starship Titanic is just that- pretty eye candy that is soon forgotten as part of the background. | | | The premise is simple and refreshingly original- an advanced civilization has built the biggest and most luxurious starship in the galaxy: the Starship Titanic. | | | Of course, it is not entirely fair to compare Starship Titanic to dramas like Riven and the 7th Guest. |

| | CNN - Review: "Starship Titanic" doesn't sink, but it's no blockbuster either - May 22, 1998 |
| | Expectations and hype for this game were high, considering that it is a collaboration between British comedy greats Douglas Adams and members of "Monty Python." Douglas Adams' "Starship Titanic" shares little with its namesake; it neither completely fails on its maiden voyage, nor completely succeeds in creating a new form of interactive adventure game. | | | CNN Interactive talked to Douglas Adams, the famous science fiction author and humorist, about the making of "Starship Titanic." He said that he missed the early days of adventure playing when you were "locked in a virtual kind of conversation with the computer." | | | Overall, "Starship Titanic" is a zany, fun ride. |

| | The game starts out as you, the player, are at home and a huge spacecraft, the Starship Titanic, crashes into your house. | | | Starship Titanic is a game developed by Douglas Adams, author of such hilarious books as "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and ??? | | | Especially since we love adventure games and even developed our own adventure game, I was really counting on Starship Titanic to show the naysayers that adventure games are here to stay. |

| | UWO Gazette - Tuesday, December 2, 1997 |
| | The video game Starship Titanic will be a nostalgic voyage for those who remember the text-based Infocom games of old. | | | Jones was already involved in the Titanic game project as the voice for the parrot character and so it was not surprising that the parrot becomes the coolest hero in the novel. | | | Although accompanied by rich graphics, the game interface is completely text-based and according to the propaganda for the game, you fully interact with the characters to the point you have to earn their trust. |

| | Your goal in Starship Titanic is straightforward: find out what's gone wrong with the luxury starship that's crash-landed into your home, then correct the problem before you smash into a star or hurtle into a black hole. | | | As it stands, though, about the only gamers who'll get their money's worth out of Starship Titanic are devoted Douglas Adams fans -- and even then only the most patient need apply. | | | One of the biggest reasons for Starship Titanic's failure to captivate is its movement and navigation interface. |
