Oh yeah....I forgot to mention yesterday that Friar Tuck in that Daffy Duck cartoon was skivvieless.

That he was :) Shudder!

[Fedora]

Hi! Nice to meet you! Thanks for dropping in!

...as we trip along merrily
o'er the greensward so gracefully....

DIFFICULT!
I could get to the trolls, get the sword, I could get to Elrond, Got to the goblins, even got teh ring once, but beyond that.. They stuck stuff you needed in places you wouldn't go if you followed the book.
Like, a golden key was way off the side of one of the mountains heading to the goblin cave.
And Thorin's backdoor key was off someplace else.
Got myself stuck in Thranduil's dungeons without the ring or the sword, no don't know how.
Gandalf and Thorin wandered freely in the dungeon and were no help at all.
Gandalf didn't do much in the game, nor did Thorin.
It was possible to hit the spiders before finding Beorn or entering the goblin's cave.
The spiders didn't even seem to be in Mirkwood at all.

And all the while, the SAME MUSIC PLAYED.
Unless you died.
Then it was a bass version of the SAME TUNE.
(Boop doot doot boop doot-deet-doot-deet-doot boop doot deet doot deet dooot(pause) doot. Dooot boop doot boop booopdeetbooop deet booop doot Repeat)

But the game was frustrating and didn't seem to follow the book at all.
To beat the trolls, you had to wander to where they were, and walk away, one screen forward, one screen back, repeat.
Eventually, they'd fight, and then turn to stone.
Sometimes Bill would drop his key, sometimes not.
When he didn't, you had to start the game over.

Never did beat that game.
It was a text adventure with screen images.
And sometimes it did not make sense at all.

Hello everyone!

[Ramius]

Hullo Ruthee!!! Hullo Evellybody!!!

Wassssuuuuupppp???

[Fedora]

Well. . .at least it sounds like it was more interesting than Atari's old fantasy game with the castle and the dragon--what was that called again? :)

[Fedora]

Hi! You know I never actually saw Porky's, believe it or not.

[Fedora]

Hi Ramius! What's new in Orcaville? :)

[RMDupree]

Hey sweetie!!

I'm so bored! Times like these I really wish we Hobbit Holers all lived closer together so we could all meet up at a local pub or something. Or even just pick a house to watch LOTR at!

[Fedora]

Hi Ramius! What's new in Orcaville? :)

[Fedora]

And then there was. . .

[Darksheare]

Dragonfire?
Where you ran across a bridge while avoiding fireballs?
And once in the room with the dragon, you hid in a basket, ran out to get the goodies, and then hid again so that you didn't get toasted?

[Darksheare]

PONG!

Hey, then I could bring my Bakshi tape over all the time. . .

[RMDupree]
