Beam Software (Melbourne House), 1982, Tape (Original release)Based on Tolkien's book, The Hobbit was Australia's first major game export, selling over a million copies worldwide. Reaching number one across Europe, its user-friendly artificial intelligence named Inglish (developed by Beam Software) revolutionised text adventures. Players found the game constantly appealing because non-player characters existed independently. They had personalities, loyalties and roamed freely through the game-world. This enabled the game to be played with changing outcomes. It can be considered one of the first examples of 'emergent gaming'.
