AGI hobbits, game by klownstein

[klownstein]

yodaman11111 - You could call it a parody.  I'm also trying to emulate the classic Sierra AGI games where they had weird "pop culture" things added in too to make it slightly more interesting/humorous (Like the smurf in the zoo or my "Cave Ogre" that looks like Shrek).   You're more then welcome to download the beta-test and see it for yourself if you'd like.  In the beta-test you need to get things ready for Bildo's birthday party.  You can play through and complete all the tasks (getting a birthday cake, printing invitations, getting a "Happy Birthday Banner," and getting fireworks), but that is as far as the beta test for the game goes.  You can also download the "combat system" beta-test that will be used whenever the other characters (Legless, Moronmir, etc.) need to fight enemies.

Is this game going to be on a grand scale, will it just be the first book or all three???

Also I am more than happy to host your game for you too so you don't have to use geoshitties.

EDIT: Just played the demo, I love your writing style but just one thing and I know it is used in AGI games.  All the sudden deaths in the game .... there are so many!

Xenogia - Thanks for hosting my game!  Geocities doesn't do a very good job as far as that goes. 
The game (hopefully ) will follow "Frobo" through ALL the books.  I'm trying to decide if I'll jump around like the books or not (i.e. let you play as Gandolf when he goes to visit Saruman or Aragorn when you fight at Helm's Deep, etc.).  I think that would make the game more interesting.
About all the deaths, I'm sorry about that .  Originally (about a year ago) I thought I'd follow standard AGI etiquette and let the player die for no reason.  As I was programming and playing other AGI fan-made games for "inspiration", however, I came to realize how annoying that was and tried to at least give you some kind of warning (like the snake rising up in the zoo if you get to close, or the warning not to steal from the Amish hobbit when you enter her house, or the warning not to get too close to anyone when you enter the tavern).  I am planning on changing most of the sudden deaths by getting rid of them or giving some kind or warning (So you can avoid them).
Thanks for the compliment on the writing.  That's the part that I struggle most with (I always want to get it just right).  So, I'm afraid there are currently quite a few places in the beta-test where it says "Writing not complete."  Those will be fixed in later versions though.
