Just read that, great piece. Incredible they created a game engine in the 80s which was only used once more! |  | |  |

Loved this on the Spectrum, hours of entertainment.
Text adventures in general were great. Even at school you had Tower and L.

I loved this, although you just ended up trying to kill Thorin becuase he wouldn't STFU singing about gold.
This is a great review, too: https://www.filfre.net/2012/11/the-hobbit/ |  | | |

The games created with such little memory and processing power to work with were nothing short of incredible. Do miss firing up the cassette player and loading games! |  |

There is a good little museum in Cambridge that has all the orginal 80s computers. Amstrad, Spectrums, Commodores, etc. All hands on as well so you can have a go on them.
There is even a classroom with BBC Model B Microcomputers. Have some photos on my FB somewhere. | |

That is a superb article and really adds some flesh to the bones of the story. Incredible the person who started the development never did anything else in computing gaming. | | | |

"Do miss firing up the cassette player and loading games!"
With full sound effects for ten minutes, and then crashing half the time when there was only a minute left. | |

I got lost in the Misty Mountains and then killed by a spider on the forest road. 7.5%.
Can't remember how to kill the troll and didn't find the cave with the crack that leads to capture by the goblins. | |

I'll probably have a crack at it myself when I finish playing Football Manager...
Rest of the Speccy games here...
