Jeu textuel en anglais auquel j'ai joué sur Amstrad CPC 6128
J'ai adoré y jouer, en tatônnant puisque je ne connaissais que trois mots d'anglais...
Les illustrations étaient sympas, une bonne récompense pour l'avancée dans le jeu. J'ai découvert après qu'elles étaient réalisées d'après les dessins originaux de Tokien.
Je n'ai pas pu finir le jeu à l'époque à cause d'un bug, j'y rejouerai avec plaisir !
Truly a terrible game, even for its time, in that it was actually impossible to complete due to a bug in the programming (at least in the IBM-PC version I had). Hard to imagine how this got shipped when a playtester with a walkthrough could otherwise have completed the entire game in 30 minutes or so. Perhaps someone just sent the wrong floppy disk to the publisher. I don't know if a fixed version was ever released.
Also annoyingly your companions Thorin and Gandalf operated with their own rather random pseudo-AI, wandering in and out of rooms and often getting themselves killed out of view.
It did loosely follow the plot of the book.
On the plus side, it came with an actual physical paperback copy of 'The Hobbit' in the box, which was my introduction to the works of Tolkien when I was still quite young, and which still sits on my shelf 40 years later, though the game it came with is long gone. Imagine a game manual/hint guide that is 287 pages long! It would be interesting if GOG could replicate that via digital assets, if nothing else.

The storyline is exactly the same as the movie itself and each chapter will bring you further in the story. Every chapter will have various goals set. Only one specific goal per chapter is required to complete the chapter so you can always replay the chapter later to try to complete all the goals.
Every stage will also require you to play as a different character and some will involve all characters.
Each character have their own unique abilities: Marty can kick with his hind legs, sneak around his enemies slide and perform long-jumps. Alex the lion can throw fruits, use his claws and roar at his enemies. Gloria can tumble, butt bounce and hip check her enemies. And when she eats some chili peppers, she will be able to charge into her enemies. Melman can spin into, throw items at and head bash his enemies. He can also perform the Helicopter move which enables him to glide long distances. Finally the Penguin can slide, fish and attack with a Finishing move (something like a karate chop) to defeat their enemies.
Throughout the game there will be various items to collect including Life Tikis to replenish your Health Meter and Monkey Money that will enable you to buy special things at the Zoovenir Shop like mini games and special outfits for the Madagascar cast.Action
