Jeu textuel en anglais auquel j'ai joué sur Amstrad CPC 6128
J'ai adoré y jouer, en tatônnant puisque je ne connaissais que trois mots d'anglais...
Les illustrations étaient sympas, une bonne récompense pour l'avancée dans le jeu. J'ai découvert après qu'elles étaient réalisées d'après les dessins originaux de Tokien.
Je n'ai pas pu finir le jeu à l'époque à cause d'un bug, j'y rejouerai avec plaisir !
Truly a terrible game, even for its time, in that it was actually impossible to complete due to a bug in the programming (at least in the IBM-PC version I had). Hard to imagine how this got shipped when a playtester with a walkthrough could otherwise have completed the entire game in 30 minutes or so. Perhaps someone just sent the wrong floppy disk to the publisher. I don't know if a fixed version was ever released.
Also annoyingly your companions Thorin and Gandalf operated with their own rather random pseudo-AI, wandering in and out of rooms and often getting themselves killed out of view.
It did loosely follow the plot of the book.
On the plus side, it came with an actual physical paperback copy of 'The Hobbit' in the box, which was my introduction to the works of Tolkien when I was still quite young, and which still sits on my shelf 40 years later, though the game it came with is long gone. Imagine a game manual/hint guide that is 287 pages long! It would be interesting if GOG could replicate that via digital assets, if nothing else.
Tenchu ZTenchu Z is an action-adventure stealth video game.
It is different from previous games in the series in that the player creates their own ninja characters, then builds up their skills as they play through the game rather than choosing from a small selection of pre-made characters, as they take orders from the series' previous main male character, Rikimaru.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth
