Game Description
The Hobbit is a Platformer game developed by Inevitable Entertainment and published by Sierra Entertainment in 2003. Set in the mythical world of Middle-earth, The Hobbit is an action adventure game in which the player assumes the role of Bilbo Baggins. Control Bilbo from his peaceful Hobbit hole in Hobbiton into the dark and harrowing Mirkwood forest and finally to the Lonely Mountain, in which lies Smaug the
dragon.
Sent on a journey by Gandalf the wizard along with Thorin the dwarf and his stout and sturdy cohorts, Bilbo will acquire items, knowledge, and in the case of a Hobbit, courage to help him complete the quest as he comes face to face with elves, trolls, orcs, spiders, wolves, and more.

I had an original disc copy for this game, played it on an old windows 7 computer, beat it, loved it.
decided to run it on a windows 10 computer, played it, got halfway through and realized the game was just constantly trying to kill itself.
I Genuinely love this little old game but it was not released in a good condition, just a functional one. now running it on windows 11 may seem like shooting yourself in the foot since the games degraded state has only worsened on new hardware.
Play this game on an older computer or skip out on it, the game is decent quality wise and can be fun. But the game is not worth it in the long run.
If i decide to come back ill figure out how to force it to work like i did on windows 10, with a AP machine and a Heart monitor attached to its piss stained bed.
Game seems to be crashing as soon as there are a lot of gems (finish a quest or objective and the courage points appear). Has happened 3 times in the first level already.
I fixed the ‘1607 unable to install installshield scripting runtime’ I got when trying to run the Installshield by installing the newest version of FrameNet RunTime (Microsoft)
To install this game:
- and unzip the file above.
-Navigate to the unzipped The_Hobbit_Win_ISO_EN\Game files\CD1 file.
-Right click and mount the iso file, Windows 11 can do this natively but if you need to get software for it winCDEmu is free and should work.
-if it doesn’t autorun enter the mounted drive from This PC and launch autorun.exe.
-Install till it asks for disk 2.
-Navigate to the The_Hobbit_Win_ISO_EN\Game files\CD2 file.
-Mount the iso file.
-finish instalation.
-if the application asks for disk 1 to be inserted navigate to The mounted disk 1 and enter the folder Razor1911.
-copy Meridian.exe.
-navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra\The Hobbit(TM).
-paste Meridian.exe and replace the file.
You shouldn’t need the virtual disks mounted to run the game. That worked for me I hope this helps!
This doesn’t work anymore. I get an error message trying to start the game after I go through all the steps exactly as shown:
On windows 11 and the game wont launch from the mounted disk one, says there is no CD
Gente, pra quem NÃO conseguiu abrir o jogo… é muito simples! Para resolver o problema Você precisa: Vá para a pasta do que você baixou o Game e entre em: Game FilesCD 1HobbitCD1.isoRazor1911; Lá você tem o arquivo chamado “Meridian.exe”. Você só precisa copiar este arquivo (Meridian.exe) e substituir este arquivo pelo o arquivo original “Meridian.exe” que está na pasta com o jogo instalado (pasta de exemplo: C:GamesThe Hobbit(TM)) e pronto! Só abrir o game e jogar.
is there a way to get 1.3 in italian pleaaaaaaaaaaaase
hey, ive managed to get the game working fairly easy using below instructions but for some reason it seems to glitch when i pick up more than 1 weapon, constantly switching between the two without any imput from myself, do you know of any fix cos its impossible to play otherwise
I have a similar issue with not being able to play the game for long. I’m halfway through the game and I had a few minor crashing problems but I didn’t mind too much because I save often and the game starts up very fast. However, I cannot get through the Flies and Spiders level because I can’t get more than three minutes of playing time before my game just freezes and I can’t do anything. Task Manager lists the game (labeled as Meridian.exe) as “not responding,” and the only way I can get out of it is by ending the task entirely. Anyone have any potential fixes for this? I’m super bummed out because, as with most of you, I played this game a ton growing up and I was really looking forward to getting through it once again.
My game keeps crashing. It plays for about 5 minutes and then the games just closes. Any suggestions?
how I can change resolution???
When I press the resolution option of 1920×1080, it does not let me confirm it, it automatically returns to the previous resolution.
any solution please? I would really appreciate it, thank you <3
