From the creative mind of Douglas Adams. The Starship Titanic crashes into your house and takes off with you onboard. Inhabited by malfunctioning robots and a semi-deranged parrot, you must gain control of the ship and pilot it back to Earth.
Cryptic and almost certainly you'll need a guide at one part or another. But fun, interesting, quirky, and great.
Good game, does crash...

I hope i'll live...
I have fond memories of sitting by my dad's clunky early-2000's computer and watching him play this. I think it was likely one of his favorite games.
Coming back to it, I can see that it has aged well, even nearly 30 years after its release; some mechanics, like character behavior and text-based speech interactions, even feel fresh by modern standards....
