Quoted from PBINTHESOUTH:

Yes, I wonder if this is the real issue... the abrupt and unspoken for disappearance of the original creators of the game...
Aurich, I hear you in many of your opinions, but heck this is the Hobbit... hairy bearded characters in brown clothes/Golumn/swamps/frigid/dark mountains all make for dreary scenery... LOTR has some green and orange colors, but it's still the same dark/green/muckey background..
WOZ is totally different, yellow brick roads/candy land colors/pink good witches/etc...

The Walking Dead is not exactly a cheery theme either ... but the upper pf looks fun!! And I know this isn't a fair pic of Hobbit and is blurry ... but you get the point.

lol. No, Gordon (GOrD).

But seriously, maybe they could totally turn around that upper pf with some dramatic backlighting on the ramps (with cutouts in them), add some colorful plastics over the ramps (signs or small things form the movies), decals on the sides (improve the backboard decal), etc. Maybe even think like modders and add in some EL wire up there or something. That would be cool. It is just too dark/gray.
