AMSTRAD HOBBIT There's not much that can be said about The Hobbit that won't have already been said a thousand times. It is a superb adventure that is a perfect blend of atmosphere, sophistication, graphics and classic adventure problems that has been surpassed by little in the nearly three years since it was first released. Over the past few months, versions have been released for the MSX machines and now the Amstrad. The Interceptor games have shown just how stunning Amstrad graphics can be with ultra high detail in superb resolution on the monitor. It has to be said that The Hobbit on the Amstrad has nothing like as good graphics as it could have - instead, you get roughly what the Spectrum had three years ago. I think that's a shame and it reflects a certain lack of effort - the Amstrad Hobbit could have been the best. Nevertheless, if you have an Amstrad and want to know what all the fuss was about, buy it PCW
