Not knocking them - I played the Hobbit on a machine with 48K memory and the game included graphics! It was a marvel of it's day.
Just musing that some of the frustration I found playing them is reminiscent of trying to wrangle many billions of parameter models today.
I played Spanish IF games too from the ZX, but emulated, with PAWS (the adv system) adapted into Spanish. As the English grammar it's simpler than the Spanish one and the words are shorter, you could put tons of in game content and potential actions and effects; that's why The Hobbit shines. Altough further Spanish games were much better, such as Aventura Espacial.
