What if #GameOfDeath met Pitfall – but forgot the thrills? #Fist2's open world promised #BruceLee's pagoda, but delivered a maze of samey screens and forgettable foes. #KareemAbdulJabbar's shadow looms large. Was this ambition or just bad design?

The Hobbit.

A text adventure based on the Tolkien novel of the same name.

It's pretty much a standard Text Adventure: Go in this direction, examine this, pick that up, etc.

But it does offer some nice pictures of the occasional scene.

The Hobbit.

A game type that is something of a lost art, these days. The Text Adventure.

By entering keyboard commands, you get to play the part of Bilbo Baggins in the famous story.
