Sorry, here it is as well:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13327195/HOBBIT.DAT
Just scanned the folder and since when I tried running it under windows
XP, I created a shortcut trying to run it in compatibility mode, I forgot
not to assume that was a .bat (bravo alpha tango) file..<smile>
Stay well

Hi Jacob,
I think your DOS version is incomplete. If I'm remember correctly there's
supposed to be a hobbit.dat file also. hobbit.com is just the loader for
the game. It's a very tiny file which purpose it is to laod the rest of
the program.

As I recall it, the Hobbit from 1982 was written by Melbourn.
The zcode adaptation is a completely different game than the original
1982 version, it would seem.
There was a DOS version of the 1982 Melbourn. It's probably available
from some abandonware site. I have it somewhere on a burnt CD. I could
try and find it.

cool Jacob, I didn't know there was an infocom hobbit (and I thought
I had all the infocom games.
I'll have to try that one myself.
Beware the grue!

Hi all,
I was wondering if anybody knew how I could get my hands on the old
1982 text adventure of The Hobbit? It ran on the C64 on a cassette
tape or floppy disk (not sure if that was a 5 In. or a 3.5 In.),
but
if anyone knows where I could get this, it would be awesome! Also,
how
the heck would I make it run? Lol.
Thanks in advance,
Ari
