I've been playing The Hobbit game by Sierra again, and I've reached a point where I am totally stuck.  

Here is the Moby Games entry - http://www.mobygames...indows/hobbit__

I am in Lake Town, and I have to retrive the Black Arrow for Bard.  I have to place 3 barrels on the correct pressure plates to get through door on the right, and I can't work out the correct combination.  

Here is a screenshot of the barrels.  Can anyone help?  Please?

Not sure if this is the solution, nicked this from a walkthrough.

"Try to figure out this next part for yourself, a cutscene shows which doors
will open if you place a barrel on that panel first, that panel will light up.
Then you can experiment to see which panel you should place a barrel on next
(it is sequential) and finally the third. Pull all barrels off to restart.

There are six panels on the floor and different combinations of barrels do
different things. If you look closely you'll see the barrels have varying
levels of weight. First, take the largest barrel and put it on the lower
picture of the large barrels. Drop it and get the medium barrel and place it on
the upper picture of the large barrels. Place it and yet we still don't have
enough weight on this one, get the small barrel and place it on the same space
as the medium one. A door should open.

Go through the door and get the chest. Master Jump Tactics for the stick! All
right! Now back out and pull all of the barrels off so we can start from a
clean slate. Place the small barrel on the upper small barrel panel. Now place
the medium barrel on the lower medium barrel panel. Then finally place the
heavy barrel on the upper medium barrel panel. It opens a door and you can get
the two chests. Remove all barrels from the panels again.

Place the small barrel on the lower small barrel panel this time. Then the
medium on the uppder medium barrel panel, and finally the heavy barrel goes on
the upper heavy barrel panel. Hey! I figured all these out for myself so you
should be able to also!"

Hmm.  I tried your walkthrough DD,     but it doesn't seem to work.  

There is no cut-scene showing which doors will open, and placing barrels on the panels he says doesn't seem to open any doors.  

Thanks for trying though.

Is the game fully patched?

There is no patches for the game, as far as I know.
