# Software Review: The Hobbit

The Hobbit is a graphics adventure game for the 48K Spectrum. It will run on the Spectrum ROM or a Spectrum Emulator. The program takes about 6 minutes to load (and has a very neat screen string, as pictured with the dragon and mountain). The game is very tough. The best I have done is only 5% of the adventure (the program tells you what percentage of the game you did after you have died). The graphics are also very excellent and very interesting.
