09 PD/Shareware p3 (Tolkien theme games)

Morgul
Author: Chris Wilde, et al.
Year: 1993
System: Unix, MS-DOS, Macintosh
Type: ASCII-based RPG
Distribution: PD, FTP from ftp.cis.ksu.edu:
/pub/Games/Moria/unofficial/
Comment: An unofficial version of The Dungeons of Moria version 5.5. It
is almost identical to that game, but takes place in Morgul where
the player has to kill the nine Nazgûls in order to delay the
attack on Minas Tirith. The author is very concerned with the poor
realism of allowing humans to become mages (compare Tolkien's rare
descriptions of humans using magic) but does not bother to explain
why hobbits and half-elves are shop-keepers in down-town Minas
Morgul.

Hobbit - The True Story
Produced by: Milbus Software
Author: Fredrik Ramsberg <d91frera@und.ida.liu.se> and Johan Berntsson
Year: 1993
System: MS-DOS
Type: Text adventure
Covers: Parody of "The Hobbit"
Distribution: Shareware (USD 10), FTP from ftp.gmd.de:
/if-archive/games/pc/hobbit.zip
Comment: Possibly the first adventure ever written with BAT files(!).
It is a very good but extremely short parody of Melbourne House's
The Hobbit.

*Tolkien Trivia
Author: tolkien (this is the author's previous user-name)
Year: 1995(?)

Comment: This is (was?) a web game running on a Hawaiian server. I do
not know if it has moved or disappeared, but it is no longer on its
original site, anyway.
