Old Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game pulled from the vault

Planetmagrathea has some details on the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game that was under development at the end of the last century. The screenshots are familiar, but the sketches and concept art are new to me. This game is such a no-brainer, I'm not sure why the publisher pulled the plug (unless, of course, it just plain bit). The site blames the accountants for the death of the title, and I'm hardwired to believe that. The truth may never be told. But someone should pick the license up and start printing money.
