Apparently, the company that made this had the rights to make a game based on the books, not the new line cinema films. So it was more directly inspired by the books. I remember borrowing it in high school for the GBA and thinking it wasn’t bad. Wandering in Moria for ages. There’s something charming about it and the graphics are more fairytale inspired which is interesting. If you google the PC version there’s a lot of that early 2000s charm. Obviously most people would have played the EA published two towers game which featured events from the fellowship.

I do remember this one! Oh boy, how was I frustrated by the fact that I couldn’t exit Shire because of a bug in the game.

Still stressed about the part where you’re trying to avoid ring wraiths while sneaking out of the shire.

Funnily enough, I have ROTK high up on my GameCube “to play” list after playing LOTR on GBA. The GBA game was pretty dang güd.

I had this game in PS2. I remember there was a secret area where you could find gollum and get a fish from him that Aragorn would use as a weapon.

I had this on GBA, and about 2 hours in the whole game would crash every time. Amazing stuff.

I am surprised I never saw this one before. I used to play the TCG pretty heavily back in the early 2000s and would love this.

looking at screenshots from the PC, ps2, and GBA versions, I think I might hunt down a GBA cart!
