Wow, the nostalgia.
I never completed the Hobbit on the family BBC. My Dad did.
He'd stay up until the early hours of the morning, the floor of the study littered with A3 hand drawn annotated maps of Middle Earth that connected together, so that he could efficiently replay when he died.
I don't remember too much of the game, other than:
"Ask Gandalf carry me"
And those bug eyes appearing in a forest and feeling a sting and dieing.
- momentoftop 6y agoI think that was when you were stuck in a prison with a high window. The typical exchange was: # say to Gandalf "carry me" GANDALF says no. GANDALF goes east. # wait You wait. Time passes... # wait You wait. Time passes... ...hoping that Gandalf would show up later and be in a more cooperative mood. Maybe I was just stuck in a mindset of adventure games having exactly one solution. Reading about this game, The Hobbit seems to be even more sophisticated than I'd assumed.
