SST Postcards

See the SST Postcard service as it was. We have, as yet, no 'large' images to support this service, and you cannot actually send a postcard to your dearly beloved and other loved ones (as yet). But these things may yet happen. In the great cosmology that we know as the universe beyond Belgium, who can say what will one day happen?


SST Sounds

Hear the characters in typical fashion as they speak to you in these beautifully crafted sample sound files (luxury editions, every blessèd one of them).

The » SST Music Page is external to this site and is where you can obtain four ZIP files (generally 5MB each, one at 12MB) containing all the music coded within the SST game files. It wasn't all used in the game and some of it may sound a little strange when played in isolation. It was extracted by a forum visitor who called himself JayEff and is available from this website operated by a friend of his. I am grateful to them both for their services and (of course) have stolen their files in case they ever suddenly disappear.


SST Wallpaper (PC and Mac)

Larger size images for your collection, to keep, to love and (if you like) to use as a desktop wallpaper.


SST Desktop Theme (PC)

A desktop theme for your Windows desktop comprising a colour scheme, wallpaper and sounds to remind you of Titanic which, like Windows itself, cannot possibly go wrong


Complimentary 1st Class In-Flight Magazine

Perhaps you would like to view a sample of our award-winning magazine? We were so proud of this that we issued a copy of it with every game sold.


Archived Sites (preserved here)

A number of closed sites are now archived here. We present them to you as places of interest to the SST community, without any attempt by us to make commercial gain from them, and with no claims made or inferred upon the copyright of their rightful owners. All the pages you see have been converted at code level to make them suitable for this site. Some pages have had obvious code errors amended, or have been amalgamated from more han one version of the page. A few pages and/or images are sadly missing. Otherwise, it was all mostly as you see it.

TDV-SST Site

The TDV Starship Titanic site which heralded and later supported the game of Starship Titanic was huge. Although the Chat areas were closed when Douglas Adams passed away and the original Shop area was quickly superseded by a DNA (rather than SST) shop, the rest of the site remained more or less intact. However, broken external links, the odd missing files and so on made it a very hazardous place to navigate.

In accordance with the original site's layout, the only way to get back to the start is to click on the small image of the Starship Titanic at the page's top right. Beware: if you click on the "Starship Titanic" text logo, you end up at the site's header page, which does not provide any way back to the start page!

TDV-SST Chat/Help Forum

These are dummy, non-working pages showing what it looked like. Beware there are many blind links in this section of the archive!

TDV Company Site (original format)
TDV Company Site (ultimate format) [pending]

The Digital Village was a dream of an umbrella organisation which co-opted software companies and individuals from throughout the world, assembling and disassembling itself as needed into bigger or smaller groups as dictated by its shared-benefit projects. Utopian in concept and seriously flawed because of it, it nevertheless produced Starship Titanic and spawned a couple of other ventures (such as Phase Three Studios) before the untimely death of Douglas Adams brought about its own premature end.

Phase 3 Studios

Phase 3 Studios was created under The Digital Village umbrella to create a new edition of the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy game for the Mac and PC platforms, using people drawn from within TDV. When Douglas Adams died and TDV collapsed, Phase 3 Studios struggled alone for a time but collapsed some months later. 


The 2002 Edition SST Box Art

SST was re-released in 2002 in a low-cost form (£9.95 in the UK) with different packaging. This page shows the revised packaging.
