Description Bored of the Rings
There are no prizes for guessing the inspiration for this story. The Great Ring must be returned to Mount Doom, a treacherous task that Fordo the Boggit must undertake. Spam, Pimply and Murky are his small-town friends, and later he will meet Bumbadil and Hashberry, two old hippies. The main mission is to meet the Legoland Elf, the dwarf Giblet and Aragont.
In keeping with the humor, the familiar locations become 'the featureless plain below the pink mountain', 'Lake Anadin' and the 'land of goblins with personal cases'.
Bored of the Rings is an interactive fiction game with graphics made with Quill. The interface allows the player to pick up and use objects using VERB NOUN commands, and talk to characters.
The game is divided into three parts, accessed by access codes. The tape also includes issue 1 of Sceptical, Delta 4's short-lived magazine on tape.
