Description of J.R.R. Tolkien's War in Middle Earth
Discover J.R.R. Tolkien's War in Middle Earth, an excellent game of 1988. With side-scrolling, top-down perspective, the publisher Melbourne House had wonderful ideas around medieval / fantasy, real-time.
Melbourne House jumped into the fray with its own ambitious strategy/RPG that puts you in control of a wide range of characters from Lord of the Rings, starting out as Frodo and his neighbors Sam and Pippin. Strategic elements include allocating armies (similar to Dune) and RPG-like combat, while the adventure portion follows the book quite closely. Overall, an entertaining and solid adventure, if you can put up with its interface quirks.
