Interplay released The Lord of the Rings for the Super Nintendo in 1994, a time when many developers were adapting fantasy novels into side scrolling action games. This one stood out for its attempt to capture the scale of Tolkien's story, even if it had to take some liberties with the source material to fit the console's capabilities.

You control Frodo, guiding him through a mix of platforming levels and overhead exploration screens. Your main goal is to carry the One Ring from the Shire to Mount Doom, which involves fighting orcs with your sword, navigating maze like forests, and searching for key items to progress. The game shifts perspectives frequently, from side scrolling combat to an overhead map view for traveling. It is a difficult game; enemies respawn quickly, and the platforming requires precise jumps. Playing it feels like a constant, deliberate struggle against the world itself.
