That's hilarious. I was just about to mention the junk mail situation with HHGTTG.

Glad I clicked that link first... :)

It's crazy. If you don't pick up the junk mail (which at the time, seems like something
totally useless) then later on in the game, after you've left the Earth and there's no
returning, if you don't have the junk mail to distract something else, you can't get the
Babel fish. Without the Babel fish, you can't interpret alien languages and text so you
are quite literally, stuck...

A better game design would have included a few more ways to cause distraction so
the Babel fish could be obtained, located at various places along the way, thus avoiding
a darned near total game restart...
