Glad it brought back memories!

I played it on my C64, and remember getting stuck in the Mirkwood section. So quite far in, but I definitely didn't solve it.

Did your copy of the game come with a copy of the book too? Mine did, though I already had one, having first read it many years previously!

I still write new interactive fiction games myself - there's a very thriving amateur community, since the 1990s especially. It's a bit shocking for old timers when new folks come along who're born in the 2000s! While some of us can remember the days of 8-bit IF games, or even earlier.
