The ZX Spectrum - Running "The Hobbit"

Below is a ZX Spectrum Emulator (written entirely in Java) and running the game "The Hobbit" which I spent many hours playing when I was 12 years old.

To start playing, just click on the image and press a key.  You can use basic commands such as:

NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, UNLOCK/LOCK TAKE/DROP, ATTACK, OPEN DOOR etc. and here is the manual if you would like to have a real play :-)

Unweaving the Rainbow, by Richard Dawkins

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.
