    This um... video game.

    My family had this video game on our Apple //e when I was a kid. It even came with a copy of the book The Hobbit. It was a text adventure based on the book.

    We also had The Fellowship of the Ring video game for our machine. Both games are very linear and loyal to the plot lines of the books.

    It should be noted however, that these games hold no value today. They kinda acted as cliff notes for the books, and books were more enjoyable to read. Yes at the time it was an enjoyable computer game, but the computer thing was kinda novel then. After the novelty of basic computer technology has worn off, there's nothing left but the poor representation of a classic novel.

    And if there WAS someone still running this game on a 30 year old computer, trying to solve it, I would wonder. Yes, I would wonder.
