TheHobbitRemake

This is a remake of the The Hobbit text adventure released in 1982 by Melbourne House and written by Veronika Megler and Philip Mitchell.

For those unfamiliar with the "language" of 1980s text adventures, you can find the manual for this game at https://www.mocagh.org/tolkien/hobbit-alt2-manual.pdf and the 1984 guide to this game at https://ia801809.us.archive.org/17/items/guide-to-playing-the-hobbit/GuideToPlay... Be aware that if you read the guide beyond the first dozen pages, it will start to give you clues or outright answers to the puzzles in the game.  Those first dozen pages of the guide should be helpful however, being effectively the "game manual."
(Thanks to Andrew Aulenback for the above text)

The remake was originally written about 15 years ago in C++ and this is a port of that code to monogame. It is based specifically on the ZXSpectrum version.
