Anyone remember the old SNES lotr game?

[TheRingBearer]

It was quite bad as the game ended with a fight with the balrog. You completed it once the balrog was killd by you and the fellowship lol

But anyway I couldn't even get past the first part cause you had to find the Gaffer's glasses for Sam so he'd come with you but they were inside a dreary cave just outside of Hobbiton:( lol

OH MAN! I had a SNES for like five years *gave it up for an N64 and soon to give that up for a ps2* and I never knew that!

Wow...I think I do have the system...must find the game, it's probably real cheap now. hehee...a classic!

I should lay off the caffeine, don't you think? :whoohoo:

[TheRingBearer]

Probably lol
Yeah you might like it, if you can get into it.

What about THe Hobbit on the ZX spectrum. I remember that, one of the first graphic adventure games. :-)

I have no tried the SNES game I might try and get it. :-)

Games workshop better have it...maybe electronics boutique...oh shoot, I'll just look online.

[Bonos-Girl]

electronics boutique is like my favourite shop and now they're being changed into 'game' stores...i think that squite sad really....actually knoiw i've said that you can probably gues that i'm quite sad too!!!! i picked up an old spectrum at a boot sale but it didn't work....soooo annoying....

[TheRingBearer]

Yeah I noticed that. I think they are all the same company? :huh: :)

[Orkybash]

I tried it, and thought it strayed too far to really get into it. The re-written dialogue was cheesy - couldn't they have acutally used snipits from Shadow of the Past when Gandalf tells Frodo about the ring?

And the caves outside Hobbiton - inhabited by the powers of Mordor, as I recall - were just too cheesy! I don't want to see LotR lowered to the level of a normal SNES RPG.

[Bonos-Girl]

the thing bout game stores is that they all seem to be quite a bit bigger......ok...so this could be percieved as a good thing but i like EB nad also prices may go up.....not sure about that though.

[Silme]

I played that SNES game. I could never find the gaffer's glasses either. I think it was based (at least visually) on the Ralph Bakshi animated film. I remember those hobbit mullets rendered into 16 bit. roflmao

It plays as bad as it looks like :rolleyes:

Hmm, the pictures don´t show up. Why is that?

[Sauron]

I remeber bearly, I was only like 5 or 7, I didn't even know what the point of LOTR was, and i had never read the books. I just remeber watching my brother play it, he got to the balrog part, and I remeber having nightmares about him because I thought he was the devil.......:)

Too bad i sold my snes for n64 then Gamecube, I still have my old games, i need to go and seen if I can find it.
