Bilbo is a Hobbit, which is somehow like that small 
and skinny guy you remember from school which could 
run very fast. One nice day he was relaxing at home 
and got a call from Gandalf, an odd old chap who 
worked as a magician (in the good ol’ Merlin fashion) 
and as the gay professor in Harry Potter. The old man 
tells you about a big treasure hidden in a cave and 
guarded by Smaug, the terrible pink dragon – the problem 
being that he doesn’t really know how to open the cave 
to get it. That’s something which only the thirteen 
dwarves (dirty short people with long beards) know how 
to do; they usually wander around the forest. Besides, 
inside the cave there’s a bald grumpy man called Gollum 
who has hidden a ring somewhere. That ring is rather 
special, ’cause if you put it on you become invisible 
(thus unkillable by enemies) but feel a bit dizzy.

In The Hobbit (Vahka’s cut) your mission is to help 
Bilbo find Smaug‘s treasure without dying in the attempt. 
To do so, you’ll have to perform some tasks (hints 
already given). To move around you use your OPQA keys 
or the joystick.

To talk to people / examine stuff / pick up stuff, etcetera, 
just press SPACE of FIRE in the joystick. When you get 
the ring (hint, hint!) you can put it on by pressing 
SPACE / FIRE as well. Beware, the effects are short and you 
will get a bit dizzy. You’ll need this ’cause Gollums dwells 
in very thin corridors and you won’t be able to get past 
him without being invisible.
