The Balrog

“Something was coming up behind them. What it was could not be seen: it was like a great shadow, in the middle of which was a dark form, of man-shape maybe, yet greater; and a power and terror seemed tobe in it and go before it...Its streaming mane kindled and blazed behind it. In its right hand was a blade like a stabbing tongue of fire; in its left it held a whip of many thongs....His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadows about it reached out like two vast wings. It raised the whip, and the thongs whined and cracked. Fire came from its nostrils." (Fellowship of the Ring)

This is my homage to the Amstrad adventure scene. For more than three years I used to write the Balrog adventure column for Future Publishing’s Amstrad Action and in a moment of insanity I decided to HTML them and put them on the web for posterity!
