The Hobbit	Melbourne House (Beam Software)	1982	[b]Once you begin, you may never want it to end[/b] Now, the book by which all other fantasy adventures must be measured has come to life as the ultimate computer program. Now you can enter into one of the most incredible fantasy adventures the world has ever known. As Bilbo, the reluctant hobbit, you suddenly find yourself on a wonderful, frightening, magical journey. You, Gandalf the wizard, and Thorin the dwarf are off to slay the evil dragon and return the treasure he is hoarding. Along the way you will meet trolls and goblins, wizards and elves, Gollum, Bard, and other creatures of Middle-earth. What’s more, through your computer, you will actually be able to talk to these creatures, make friends (and enemies!), share meals, and collect treasure. You will visit many incredible places; some familiar, some new and strange, but all exciting. For those who do not know of hobbits and their world, J. R. R. Tolkein’s book [b]The Hobbit[/b] is included in this package. It will introduce you to the marvelous, magical adventures of Bilbo and guide you throughout your journey in Middle-earth. And you can visit Wilderland again and again, and each time your adventure will be new and exciting.* [190]* [74]* [4]* [130]* [48]* [48]***One of the classic text adventures of the early eighties, The Hobbit came to be a major influence on the European adventure market in particular.

War in Middle Earth	Melbourne House (Maelstrom Games)	1989	For the first time, Tolkien's panoramic vision of the cataclysmic struggle between good and evil has been skillfully crafted into a single computer war game of epic proportions. Follow in the footsteps of Frodo, Aragon and Gandalf as they battle to get The One Ring to the Crack of Doom. Ranged against you are all the evil forces of the Dark Lord Sauron and the corrupt wizard Saruman. The odds are overwhelming but you cannot afford to fail. The destiny of Middle Earth hangs in the balance. The conflict takes place on a smoothly scrolling map of Middle Earth, true to all the rich detail of Tolkien's books. Plan your strategies, move your armies into position, and prepare for battle. At your option you can position EACH INDIVIDUAL WARRIOR in your army in the fully animated battle sequences. Just like your favorite board games, only better because it's animated! The special portrait gallery lets you view all the key leaders in the fray. You can examine your own forces at any time, however you must find the palantir before you can spy on the forces of evil. Each time you play, Sauron will subtly change his warplan, challenging your strategy skills anew. Nazguls, orcs, trolls, and other evil characters deploy to give you a different test of skill in each game. War in Middle Earth is a classic addition to any war games collection.* [147]* [75]* [17]* [8]* [6]* [62]* [42]* [1]*** [52]
