The Hobbit is a 2003 action-adventure game developed by Inevitable Entertainment for the GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox, by The Fizz Factor for Microsoft Windows and by Saffire Corporation for the Game Boy Advance. It was published by Sierra Entertainment. In North America, the game was released on in November 2003. In Europe, it was released for the Game Boy Advance in October and for all other systems in November.

The game is a licensed adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 novel The Hobbit, and has no relationship with the Peter Jackson-directed The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. At the time, Vivendi, in partnership with Tolkien Enterprises, held the rights to the video game adaptations of Tolkien's literary works, whilst Electronic Arts held the rights to the video game adaptations of the New Line Cinema films. The game sticks very closely to the plot of the novel, although it does feature some minor characters not found in Tolkien's original.

The Hobbit received mixed reviews, with critics praising its fidelity to the source material, but finding the gameplay unoriginal and too easy.

Gameplay

The Hobbit is primarily a platform game, with elements of hack and slash combat and some rudimentary puzzle aspects, played from a third-person perspective (the Game Boy Advance version is played from an isometric three-quarter top-down view). The player controls Bilbo Baggins, the majority of which is built around basic platforming; Bilbo can jump, climb ropes and ladders, hang onto ledges, swing on vines, etc. Progression through the game is built around quests. Every level features multiples quests which must be completed in order to progress to the next level. Many of the levels also feature optional sidequests which do not have to be completed, but which can yield substantial rewards if they are.

Hi, has anyone been able to download to a MAC or can tell me how to convert?

WickedPink2021-02-140 point

So I hate to sound dumb, but I am struggling with making the file play without it saying 'insert disk one'. I know people are saying to copy over the meridian file but I don't exactly understand where, as well as how to 'overwrite that file'. I downloaded the file straight to my desktop. please help a girl who wants to be nostalgic!

hvitebriller2021-02-130 point

Does anyone else have problems with their right joystick on their controller. The game doesn't recognize it on my xbox 360 controller

Hans2021-02-130 point

I've successfully installed the game, but I am unable to run it, because of an error.
'CreateDevice failed.'
and
'Direct3D Device not initalized'
I have tried plenty of solutions but the game does everything but work.
Please help!

Some tips for improving stability:
- Disable fullscreen optimizations in the windows compatibility settings of Meridian.exe.
- Use Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode
- Disable DPI scaling
With these tweaks I was able to play for 1.5 hrs straight without crashing. SAVE OFTEN.

Lemonchild2020-12-193 points

It says insert disk 2 how do I do that?

roozles2020-11-153 points

Copying the Meridian file over to my installation folder worked!! I'm overwhelmed with nostalgia. Thanks!!

Rivan2020-11-070 point

I bought the game back then a bit after it's release and found it fun. Now I've been playing a few hours (it works fine with the patch 2.3) and I still find it fun. Thank you guys at Myabandonware.

Local sad meat eater2020-09-213 points

After a lot of headache i was able to get it working, if you are getting a insert disk 1 message after installing, you need to copy the Meridian.exe file from the disk one folder into whereever you installed your game and override the existing one, ill post video of the game on youtube. have fun

InTiime12020-07-05-1 point

Can someone help me with the patch? i cant patch it, it just says 'unknown version'

Obfus2020-04-101 point

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

raymanrules772019-09-26-2 points

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

whatthe3062019-08-253 points

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?

Canned_Venison2019-07-127 points

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).

Canned_Venison2019-07-120 point

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.

LOTR Nerd2019-06-11-3 points

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.

andrew2019-03-302 points

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!

JibbaNerbs2019-03-1016 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.

JibbaNerbs2019-03-100 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'

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

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.
