"DESCRIPTION
A boring maze game with no sound and poor graphics. Fun for
mappers. It came in two parts - a guide and the game. The guide
gave descriptions of all of the creatures you could find in a
sub-Douglas Adams style; it contained some information useful for
protecting the creatures in your backpack."

Oh yes, a truly terrible game of which I actually have a copy.
If you want really obscure software with a HHG slant try to find
"Don't Panic, Panic Now" by Dented Designs.
An extemely rare item - possibly extinct!
