16 Unreleased p2 (Tolkien theme games)
*An Everyday Tale of a Seeker of Gold
Author: John Wilson
System: ZX Spectrum
Type: Text adventure
Covers: Parody of "The Hobbit"
Comment: Originally supposed to be called The Boggit (just like the
Delta 4 game (see Commercial, unlicensed above)), the author
decided to change the title, possibly because Delta 4 released
their game. The game was probably never released, but may have
ended up on the reverse side of the tape of another of the
author's games.
*Where Hobbits Dare
Produced by: Beam Software
Type: Illustrated text adventure
Comment: This was a planned sequel to The Hobbit. I am _almost_ sure it
was never released. Then again, I used to be almost sure that Crack
of Doom Software Adventure was never released either.
The Lord of the Rings, Vol. III
Produced by: Interplay Productions <info@interplay.com>
Year: Originally scheduled to be released in 1992
System: MS-DOS
Type: First designed as an RPG, later as a strategy game
Covers: "The Return of the King"
Comment: Development was started on the third part of the
abovementioned games but it was decided to turn the project into
the AD&D strategy game Forgotten Realms. Interplay still has the
license for the game and it may still be made.
'El Señor de los Anillos', parte 1, La Communidad del Anillo (Libro 1)
Author: Dimas Caparros Gomez <dimas@mazanet.es>
System: Amiga
Type: Illustrated text adventure
Language: Spanish (English version may be forthcoming)
Covers: Book One of "The Fellowship of the Ring"
Comment: This game has previously been listed as Shareware, but will
now be released as a commercial game as soon as the author has
replaced all graphics and music. English version may be PD.
