The Hobbit Game Mac 2003 Download

Due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), we are under heavy load of retrogamers wanting to travel back to those old and safe times. Please choose thoroughly every game you download and share the bandwidth with everyone.

Aug 07, 2014 Does anybody know how I can play the 2003 Hobbit video game? I really want to play this game again. I have very fond memories of it from my childhood. However the PC version on Amazon says Windows XP and 98. Do they have a version for PS3 or Xbox, or is there a way to play it on Windows 7? Please please help.

Just finished the entire game. There were a quite a few random crashes when in the save menu throughout most levels but if you save frequently it shouldn't be a problem. Install method was moving the meridian.exe like mentioned earlier

Followed the patch and everything works perfectly up until the chicken coop, then the game crashed after collecting the eggs.
Anybody else experience it?

Doesn't let me install game keeps stopping at 73% with an error message

waltz2019-08-062 points

so i got it downloaded, but when i click to play it it says input disk. what do i do?

UPDATE:
Okay so here's what works best if you experience any crashing:
Install the 1.2 patch before you copy over the Meridian file from the Razor1911 folder into the game's main folder. You can find the 1.2/1.3 patch (though I've had more luck with the 1.2 patch) from the pcgamingwiki website.
R-click the game's shortcut/.exe, go in the compatibility tab. You want to run this game for XP SP3 in conjunction with running it as an administrator, and for extra measure (since it is an older game) disable fullscreen optimisations.
One last thing: while the game is locked at 30 fps, force vsync through external means (ie Nvidia Control Panel) in order to avoid potential crashes.
This combo hasn't given me any crashes so far (30 min run, starting over from my post below).

Hey so the game works great, even has a native 1080p resolution.
It's a lot of fun so far (20 min in) but the game has a tendency to crash at seemingly random intervals. Is this a known issue? It's become incredibly frustrating, and even the old official and new unofficial patches don't solve anything.
I'm playing on a W10 device, and I tried different compatibility modes to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, I tried to do the miridian thing and copied it simply to my desktop. When I launch it, something 'almost' works. but the program stops responding.

nostalgiachaser2019-05-15-1 point

JIBBANERBS thanks man you solved it for me.

andrew2019-03-300 point

I found the meridian and copied it, but where am I supposed to paste it? I can't figure that part out

Oliver Berg2019-03-200 point

Just made an account here so I'm not really sure wether or not I'm commenting in the right place but I just wanted to say that what @Jibbanerbs suggested in his latest comment worked for me as well. And also @Jibbanerbs, if you're reading this, THANK YOU!

JibbaNerbs2019-03-107 points

Guys! I figured it out. I'm pretty sure this is the same version from gamePCiso, because someone there had the same issue. Only difference is, they knew how to fix it.
There's a 'Razor1911' folder on disk 1. Inside, you find an application called 'meridian' If you copy it (the application), and paste it into the place where you installed (which has its own 'meridian') you can overwrite it, and the game should run.

JibbaNerbs2019-03-101 point

Man, I was all hype to play this game. It was one of my old favorites.
Unfortunately, I don't have the computer chops to get around the much hated 'Please insert disk 1'

We'reAllNRGKO2019-03-050 point

Also unable to play due to program requesting I insert Disk 1. Hmmm... Will update if I find a way.

NRGKO2019-01-224 points

All I'm getting after setup is 'Insert Disk 1 to play the game' , even when I launch from a mounted disc image. Installed on HD and SD. Wondered if I could change a setting in .ini, perhaps it was defaulting to Drive D: instead of virtual drive but there's not much of a config file to play with. I'm giving up, but I wish you luck. Any fixes, hope to see them on here.

Description of The Hobbit

One of the first computer games based on Tolkien's works are based, appropriately enough, on his first Middle Earth novel The Hobbit. The game follows the book's plot very closely, as you guide Frodo's ancestor Bilbo the hapless Hobbit and his band of equally clueless neighbors into their first grand adventure.

The game was revolutionary for its time, with vibrant graphics, big vocabulary, and surprisingly robust NPC interaction.

I played this for what seemed like thousands of hours and you'd be amazed at what I can do with a strap on Bilbo.

Azeazel2017-09-232 points

I am looking for the book that came with The Hobbit from Melbourne house, the book was a like a dice roll game where depending on what you rolled would send you to a page/line further in the book and then you roll again after reading a bit and it may send you elsewhere in the book either further on or back. I've been looking for this book for years as I wish to teach my son programming and this will be a good way to start by making the book into a text based program.

BOB2014-12-26-2 points DOS version

no way to mount game - if, you are probably using DOS BOX & have mounted the HOBBIT folder - there is NO .exe to start game - the files within folder are both titled HOBBIT but, when you enter HOBBIT, it says illegal command -- no way to start game as the .exe is missing

leoombs2014-03-05-1 point DOS version
