Hi Dark,
Best guess is because of the origens of the language. English started
out as a Germanic language when England was concored by germanic
tribes, and over the centuries English speaking people adopted or
borrowed from several other languages. We get words like mirage,
ambience, bureau,

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
Hi,
Well my spelling sucks as well.
At school, or at homework, I always use a spell checker. My teachers say
don't use a spell checker, but I have to say I disagree. The only way you'll
learn most words. Yes, reading is the key, but how are you going to correct
your spelling without you
But that's not the correct approach.

A looong time ago, I, on my first XT PC, played the DOS version a hell of a

When I did French in high school, the best I ever got was that could read
Asterix books in original french, but, another joke is while can still
vaguely read some types of french (day to day language), when I hear it
spoken by a real french person, it doesn't generally make much sense to
me...
Hi Jacob
I'm afraid you must have got a line crossed somewhere reguarding infocom and
zcode.
The z code format was indeed originaly developed by infocom to run their
games like zork and hichhikers' guide, actually made to run games on
multiple platforms with a virual z machine, but
I do find that many people spell things how they hear them. There's this
chap on audio games who spells jaws as j o r s, accessible with 2 a's
accessable, etc. then I'm following someone on twitter who constantly says
he had a worm meal and listens to music on his eye pod. Those really cracked
Makes sense, and no worries.

Hi Jacob.
Actually, I've checked and that hobbit game was written in 2005. The author
does make it clear he's not recopying the original but trying his own work.
It actually sounds interesting, though unfortunately I haven't got too far
yet.

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.
