 A classic game with some difficulty due to randomization, August 15, 2017This is one of the best selling IF games ever. It has graphics and runs on Spectrum emulators (like Fuse). It has graphics, and is intended to cover the same material as the book The Hobbit. It does so with a great deal of NPC independence, which ends up (to me) being somewhat frustrating. Back in the early days of text adventures, many of the companies (especially outside of Infocom) hadn't really thought about player guidance, and so games devolved into 'guess the verb' on every occasion. Still, this game has a good deal of charm, and I've had fun exploring it. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No | Add a comment

The Hobbit, January 12, 2009Famous and still-popular game based on Tolkien's novel. Because of the limited amount of memory early home computers used the number of locations is relatively small but much of the original novel is squeezed in there with some good puzzles (although even today people get furious at the notorious Goblin Dungeon) and characters: "Thorin sits down and starts singing about gold."
