In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit...
"Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."

And to add to the wonderful warm comfort of this Hobbit hole we have a huge extras update for you today! LaFey has kindly provided us with the reference card, manual, map, Inglish vocabulary reference and boxshots for the 1983, Beam Software classic, The Hobbit.

This game is naturally available here at Abandonia, as is the C64 version, so what are you waiting for?!

"Chip the glasses and crack the plates! Blunt the knives and bend the forks! That's what Bilbo hates - Smash the bottles and burn the corks!"

Blue versus Gray

Most gamers don't know what war is about. Hexagons! Oh the horror, all there is to war is hexagons. Todbog has offered us Decisive Battles of the American Civil War with all its manuals, so we can better understand how people were already fighting over little hexagons more than a century ago.
