Hobbit video game ('82) - 8 Bit Legacy

"The Hunt for ‘The Hobbit’ Game's Missing Hero"

This is a recent short video from the Emmy nominate series "8 Bit Legacy" produced by Great Big Story. It talks a bit about the making of the game, and visits with Veronika Megler, who designed the logic/puzzles for the developer (and then left the industry).

I definitely enjoyed watching it, though it has absolutely nothing to do with Tolkien or his books (the video - the game obviously was somewhat derived from the book).

If you are interested in Stu's efforts to port this game to modern technology, check out his thread here.

Yeah, one of these days I need to port my Swift 2 source code to Swift 4 or whatever it is these days (will take a couple of days, for sure). I think on High Sierra, the images on the map currently show upside down. Otherwise all works, I think. And where else can you play it on a mockup of the original TRS-80 dev environment? :)
