The Hobbit: A Software Adventure

Overview

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. Tolkien's book The Hobbit 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. Welcome to Middle-earth and the land of the Hobbit! May you return with many wondrous tales to tell.
