This is the Web version of the booklet that appeared on the cover of an issue of Sinclair User around 1985. It's quite interesting to read some of the comments that were made about the games at that time.

The world of computer games is divided into two types of people - those who have escaped from the goblins' dungeons and those who are still stuck there.

The Hobbit was ahead of it's time when it was released in 1982 and remains the adventure by which all others are judged. You must follow the footsteps of Tolkien's Bilbo Baggins in his quest for the treasure of dragon Smaug. The game features illustrations, character interaction, and a text interpreter allowing the input of English sentences. The plot changes each time you play it, and the list of possible solutions is still growing.
