You will need both files that Jacob posted the links to. They are called hobbit.com and hobbit.dat, respectively, so you can just take the link and change the ending to get both files.

[My Reply:] Hi, Not sure where to get it, but if it's back in 1982, it's likely on cassette or cartridge. Don't quote me, but I don't think the 1541, very slow, 5.25 inch floppy drive came out until 84. Linux has a C64 emulator it would probably play on as well as a buttload of other emulators from the Apple II to the Playstation. I haven't tried any of them, as I don't have any software, but it might be as simple as having the appropriate disk drive hooked up to your computer.

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 infocom have been out of business now for around 20 years, and the z code format is pretty much public domain. the vast majority, hundreds in all, of z code games have nothing to do with infocom at all anymore, though it is stil possible to run games like zork quite well on any modern machine that can read zcode games. Thus, when myself and others mentioned not hereing of an infocom version of the hobbit, we meant a version of the hobbit published by the original infocom company back in the 80's, rather than just a hobbit game run in zcode. Whether the game you have is a zcode port of the original, or another game based on the hobbit written by someone else in zcode, I'm not sure. Hope this clears the confusion up slightly.

Re: [Audyssey] Old 1982 text adventure of The Hobbit for DOS
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.

Re: [Audyssey] Old 1982 text adventure of The Hobbit for DOS
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. Beware the greu!

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 infocom have been out of business now for around 20 years, and the z code format is pretty much public domain. the vast majority, hundreds in all, of z code games have nothing to do with infocom at all anymore, though it is stil possible to run games like zork quite well on any modern machine that can read zcode games. Thus, when myself and others mentioned not hereing of an infocom version of the hobbit, we meant a version of the hobbit published by the original infocom company back in the 80's, rather than just a hobbit game run in zcode. Whether the game you have is a zcode port of the original, or another game based on the hobbit written by someone else in zcode, I'm not sure. Hope this clears the confusion up slightly.

Re: [Audyssey] Old 1982 text adventure of The Hobbit for DOS
Enjoy.

Re: [Audyssey] Old 1982 text adventure of The Hobbit for DOS
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.

Re: [Audyssey] Old 1982 text adventure of The Hobbit for DOS
All right, so I've found a zip archive containing the games. Unfortunately, they are in the .tap format, and I don't know how to get Windows or Linux to handle this. Of course, I'm Googling like crazy, but I haven't found anything as of yet. aAny suggestions?

[Audyssey] Old 1982 text adventure of The Hobbit for DOS
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 --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
