In 1982 Melbourne House, developed by Philip Mitchell and Veronika Megler, released 'The Hobbit' for a multitude of systems including the ZX Spectrum, C64, Amstrad CPC, BBC, MSX, Dragon 32 and Oric. It was based on a famous book originally written by J.R.R Tolkien and featured an illustrated text based adventure with commands such as North, East and Look. Although it was a good adventure game and based on a book loved by many, it has now been superseded by the latest announced release of 'The Hobbit 128K edition'; an unofficial overhauled version developed by World of Spectrum.org.
