"Der Weg nach Bree" released 40 years ago!
2026-10-1840 years ago, the first computer game released under the “Artsoft” label was written: “Der Weg nach Bree”, a German-language graphic adventure game (inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings”), written for the Commodore 64 in BASIC, in which you had to take on the role of Frodo Baggins and embark on a perilous journey from Hobbiton to the village of Bree.
