Jet Set Willy is a platform game in which the player moves the protagonist, Willy, from room to room in his mansion collecting objects. The room’s exits may be in any direction, and the objects may be collected in any order. Willy is controlled using only left, right and jump. He can climb stairs by walking into them (jumping through them to avoid them) and climb swinging ropes by pushing left or right depending on what direction the rope is swinging in.

Our old friend Dizzy is back with a vengeance — this time he’s going to show evil wizard Zaks exactly what he’s made of (what? Egg white and yolk?). Zaks has cast one of his deadly spells, and it’s Dizzy who has to put things right.

Or be a pirate yourself and raid other ships… Don’t get a bad rep as the police will come after you…

The Hobbit is one of the earliest computer games that I remember for the computer. I originally played it for the Commodore, but this is basically the same translation. Hopefully this one for MS-DOS actually has the music to it. If you want a blast to the past, and are looking for some good old Tolkien action, this is the one.
