Starship Titanic, the critically acclaimed CD-ROM adventure developed by Douglas Adams and his company The Digital Village, continues its hugely successful journey as it ships its first ever foreign language version, the German Raumschiff Titanic.

The PC-only version of the game will be available in stores in Germany from the end of May 1999.

Apart from its stunning graphics, the main feature of this Codie award-winning and BAFTA-nominated game is its interactive language engine, Spookitalk, which allows the player to converse with the game's characters. Like their English cousins, the German bots are real characters with 3D personalities, except of course, this time they come from Berlin and Hamburg.
The extensive script which contains around 120,000 words has been meticulously translated in full, resulting in over 14 hours of spoken dialogue, recorded with professional German voice-actors.
Raumschiff Titanic has been entirely developed by TDV in its London studio. The depth and quality of translation is unprecedented in any other computer game. The team responsible for the localisation process ensured that Douglas Adams's unique humour would be preserved across the language divide.
