What amazed me was the sheer build of the machine, the CIS (or the former Soviet Union) didn't have an active computer market abroad and at one time a big lack of available technology (except to the military I believe) so the amount that's actually inside on the board is amazing.
If the Hobbit had been released instead of the SAM over here it would have made a killing.
Overall this is a more of a techy computer, but it really is what people wanted and what they should have been given as a Speccy follow up.

The computer will also be your source of information about where you are, what you can see and what the other creatures in the adventure are doing.
If the computer is not sure of something you meant, or if there is any ambiguity about what you said, it will come back to you with queries asking for clarification.
The computer has a large vocabulary - it knows over 500 words, and it can perform over 50 different actions (made up by over 30 verbs listed at the back of this booklet, combined with over 10 prepositions) so it is capable of very sophisticated communication.

 'Hobbit' Brain Supports Species Theory
At the same time, they said the Hobbit brain was different from the brain of a modern human pygmy or a human with abnormal brain growth.
Katerina Semendeferi of the University of California-San Diego described it as a "cutting edge study." While the Hobbit brain does not fit neatly into an evolutionary pattern, she said it is too much to expect that all ancient humans would have brains that would neatly transition from ape to modern human.
But some other researchers dismissed the brain-scan study as "trivial." They are sticking to their opinion that the Hobbit probably suffered from a form of microcephaly, a condition in which the brain fails to grow at a normal rate, resulting in a small head with a large face, and even dwarfism.

Somewhere along the way, he picks up a magic ring that can turn him invisible and has confabs with a wizard and some dwarves, but the small bits of Tolkien in this game are far outweighed by the gunk that could have come out of any random fantasy-themed console title.
And complaining that the gameplay is overly familiar and generic isn't the same as saying it's bad—sometimes it's fun to hop from platform to platform in a game of this sort.
But the connection to The Hobbit is tenuous, and sadly, the gameplay is a mixed bag.

The player will control Bilbo from his peaceful Hobbit hole in Hobbiton into the dark and harrowing Mirkwood forest and finally to the Lonely Mountain, in which lies Smaug the dragon.
Your major threats are drowning (Bilbo, naturally for a hobbit, cannot swim), falling from high places, getting stuck trying to figure out a puzzle and not being able to proceed further, or being spotted by Smaug (instant death).
The game is still quite a challenge, and well worth finishing, but there is definitely an adrenaline letdown after the Flies and Spiders chapter which is a NIGHTMARE of giant spiders, deadly plants and wraith warriors as well as puzzles, obstacle courses and poisoned booby traps.
