The original model has 16 KB (16×1024 bytes) of ROM and either 16 KB or 48 KB of RAM. The Spectrum is based on a Zilog Z80 A CPU running at 3.5 MHz (or NEC D780C-1 clone). The Spectrum was released as eight different models, ranging from the entry level with 16 KB RAM released in 1982 to the ZX Spectrum +3 with 128 KB RAM and The ZX Spectrum by Sinclair to highlight the machine's colour display, compared with the black and white display of its predecessor, the ZX81.

Online emulated version of The Hobbit was originally developed for the ZX Spectrum an 8-bit personal Tinw (author) from Middle Earth on March 28, My numbers are gleaned from the Tale of Years in the appendices of LOTR.Rating (21 users voted) Sinclair ZX Spectrum So using the chronology as it stands with the conversion he had in mind at the time is reasonable. you get some very odd results if you just substitute the later value for the earlier. Tolkien apparently later revised the conversion factor upwards, but it's also almost as clear that he never went back and revised the chronology accordingly. Using the conversion factor Tolkien had in mind when he constructed that chronology (9.6 solar years for each Valian year), you can get an age for Galadriel at the time of LOTR of about 8400 years. Tolkien's Annals of Aman does contain a detailed chronology of events that took place during the Years of the Trees, including her birth.
Tinw (author) from Middle Earth on June 21, One comment about Galadriel. thus, older than everything, and ageless. How Old Are Tom Bombadil and Treebeard? Well, Treebeard might be as old as the first dwarves, as Yavanna created Ents (well, actually, all of Valar created them through the song) after Aule created dwarves, and put them to sleep underground (so, before Elves even)Īnd speculations have been made that Tom Bombadil was Eru in (human?) form. Since most enemies you are fighting at this point in the game are flesh based, being able to boost your incendiary damage is very useful. Some have been said to be older, so how old does that say, Legolas actually was? Skills like Scorching RPMs, Stoke The Embers, Scrappy, Drowning in Brass and Experimental Munitions all provide elemental and weapon damage bonuses which can further increase our potential damage output. Oak trees can live about 900 to 1,100 years old. He said to them, he had seen many an oak tree grow from a seedling and die away. But, In Tolkien's books, his age was not mentioned, nor was the name of his mother. Some say he was no older than 200 and some years old. In the Lord of the Rings movies, Gimly referrs to Legolas as a mere wee elfling.
I love the movie, but I'm ashamed of not having read the book.
