Hobbit - Adventyurnoy passing game "The Hobbit, or travel back and forth."

(C) Serge Segal



           HOBBY,

             or

   Round trip.



  Obviously one of the most popular
series of books are books by John Tolkien
o Middle-earth. In many countries there are clubs of his fans, 
for the role games "live" his work - the main

source scenarios. About the society tolkinistov St. Petersburg, 
see the article "The Saga of the Congress," and here we are 
will focus on the first book of John Tolkien Series of 
Middle-earth: "The Hobbit, or round trip, not exactly about the 
book itself, but about the same game. 

  The game belongs to the genre in his ADVENTURE
pure form, ie commands are entered letterwise, animation is 
missing, illustrative graphics. Despite this shortcomings, this 
program currently is one of the best games of this genre

and yet simple enough for beginners: for example, I took it for 
4 hours. 

  Scenario games in e fairly loose,
ie allowed significant differences to the book. The main thing 
- no nonsense situations that often spoil life novice fans of 
this genre. 

  Here is an example: to reach the dragon
I understand that the Bard is not going to kill him, and incite 
the dragon on the Bard's home town - too dangerous occupation. 
So I played the scene: The Hobbit goes to war! It was simple: 
making friends with the Bard, I begged him to bow and wearing a 
ring went to drakoshke. There I began to writhe his mug and 
shoot archery, from time to time adjusting

ring. After several dozen attempts
the dragon died. I nagreb gold and returned home.

  And now a little bit about the debut of this wonderful game. 
It starts in your mink, which is in a hurry to rush Torin

and Gandalf. Torin - leader of the dwarves, whom you should 
help, but Gandalf - good magician, however, with weirdo. First, 
take away Gandalf map: SAY TO GANDALF "GIVE ME A CURIOUS MAP ". 
Then, he opened the door, go to the east. On the way you

find two very hungry trolls.
do not stay in a location with more
than on the course, ie, immediately run. Then,
waiting for the dawn (DAY DAWNS) you can go back and pick up a 
huge key. Trolls as the sunrise turned to stone. Now, if we go 
out location of the trolls to the north, you will

their sekretnyyu trail to the cave. The door to the
cave closed, but because you already have
key! Therefore, unlocks the door: (UNLOCK
DOOR, OPEN DOOR) and go inside.
Here right armory! Take
everything, because everything will fit in the economy (TAKE 
ALL). Now go to north-east of the location with the trolls and

where you stumble upon an elf named
 Elrond. Say hello to him (SAY TO
ELROND "HELLO"), and when he gives you
food, give him a card: (GIVE MAP TO
ELROND) and ask her to read (SAY TO
ELROND "PLEASE, READ THE MAP").
 Elves are smart people, and Elrond naturally
help you. Then follow wherever
He pointed out to you. Soon you will come across
cave, rested in which you will
kidnapped by goblins. Do not panic! All non-
as scary as it sounds! To start
dig sand in the chamber: (DIG SAND). Here
You'll find a door that's worth a try to break down (break it 
at once, but after 5-6 attempts). At that time, as

You'll be doing this, the camera vkinut
Furious Thorin. Would you give him something
that you will find behind the door. Now how
get out of prison: Ask Thorin
Gandalf or you hold (SAY TO
THORIN / GANDALF "CARRY ME"), and then ask them to pass through 
the window (SAY TO THORIN / GANDALF "GO THROUGH WINDOW"). Now 
you are no longer in prison, but not on freedom. Here we must 
get out of the pockets Torin / Gandalf (SAY TO THORIN / GANDALF

"DROP ME") and run away-oh-oh-oh. After wandering in a dungeon, 
you will stumble on Gollum, who owns the ring. On his answer 
the question "The Man" (SAY TO GOLLUM "HUMAN"), but not nadeyte 
that after this you can easily get a ring. Will have to steal 
or kill Gollum: (SAY TO THORIN "KILL GOLLUM"), naturally

proxy. After receiving the ring, you will no
Labour get out of the maze. What to do next - I will not tell 
you from harm, try to beat the game yourself, it's worth it!  
Useful tips: 

  - To cross a river, use the

  Team LOOK ACROSS RIVER, and then

  throw a rope to the boat discovered.

  - Most teams use SAVE,

  LOAD.

  - Use the command HELP. It is you
  gives a clue.

  - Do not forget to correct the ring, because

  it is too big for your finger hobbit, and settlement
  toyanno subsides.

  - Think of your head and not ... The game has

  about 5 passing options.


   Good luck to you (need it!)
