Great Game one of the first adventure games i ever played although it was some years after my first which was Twin kingdom Valley and it was awesome and hard as hell !
Excellent scenes and thanks for posting! In an act of sheer teenage petulence i would often kill the innocent Elrond simply because you could. The spider in the woods could be avoided by waiting twice (or possibly 3 times) before progressing.
your a legend man, i loved this game and would play this,lord of the rings and shadows of mordor, and robin of sherwood for hours alone in the attic !
...and so are you! I had the annoying buggy first version of this which would crash at certain locations. I used to play Atic Atac in the cellar, lol!
Played this at the time :) It was a time when computer games were beginning to crystalise into distinct genres, and The Hobbit was big step forward for adventure games. I wouldn't play it now except for nostalgia, but I like nostalgia!
Great early game but version 1 was full of bugs which ruined the game at certain points. Difficult because of fussy language restrictions as well. Can't beat a bit of nostalgia now and then.
You can achieve 100% if you visit every screen. Also in the Goblins dungeon there is a trapdooor under the sand. If you get Thorin to smash it you can find some Goblin goodies.
The Hobbit and Atic Atac, ah the memories... :)

Why is the audio disabled in a load of your older reviews?

It's because it contained music by Warner Music Group.

Wow,I used to play this game a lot when it came out on the ZX Spectrum.
I did manage to complete it after a long time on it.
But,I didn't get the maximum score of 100 per cent though.I often had game over from the dreaded spider in the forest.
I still have a vast collection of Spectrum adventures and games as well as the good old Spectrum that still works!!!

Great choice of music... I love this song. The live version on Alchemy is magnificent.
To the game... could this be Spinnyfuck's first 400 part video??

It is a great song. This shouldn't be in too many parts, I hope! Doesn't help when you get stuck in the goblins dark passage.
