''The Hobbit'' is long out of print, but can be easily found on emulation sites. See also the ''[[http://members.aon.at/~ehesch1/wl/wl.htm Wilderland Project]]'', which helps elucidate the great whirling chaos going on in the game by displaying the state of objects and animals, the current positions of the latter, and a log of what all the other creatures do while Bilbo is in one place. In 2015, fan site World of Spectrum produced a version for the 128K Spectrum with enhanced graphics.

* OffTheRails: Ostensibly the game is supposed to accurately adapt the plot of ''The Hobbit''. In practice, the extreme ArtificialStupidity leads to stuff like Gandalf and Thorin letting Bilbo die, Bard wandering into the wilderness while Smaug burns Laketown to ash, a wood-elf arresting all the villains before you even meet them, and numerous characters inexplicably dying decades before they're supposed to.

* UnwinnableByMistake: You need Thorin, Gandalf, and Bard alive to beat the game. Thorin to open the door to Smaug's lair, Gandalf to help Bilbo against traps and monsters (though Thorin can fill in for this, if he must), and Bard to kill Smaug in the climactic battle at Laketown. Unfortunately, all three of these characters are prone to wandering off, refusing to follow your orders, or getting themselves killed by blundering into enemies.

* VulnerableCitizens: This game allows you to indulge in this freely. There's really nothing stopping you from getting major canon characters killed. In fact there's a good chance [[ArtificialStupidity they'll kill themselves before you get the chance]]. Characters, no matter how important, never get any kind of special protection and frequently get slaughtered by monsters or accidents before you can even meet them.
