Lord Of The Rings, The

DESCRIPTION

Based on the classic Tolkien saga, this is the first in a trilogy of games. Combining the elements of graphic adventure and role playing, it uses full-screen, top-down graphics, a point-and-click interface, an off-line paragraph system, and four-directional scrolling to maneuver players through the seven map world of Middle Earth. Primarily a game of exploration and information gathering, combat always remains an option, as Middle Earth is inhabited by orcs, wargs, dark riders, and a whole cast of Tolkien monsters. Starting out as Frodo, the hobbit, players can recruit characters to join their party as they progress through the game.

TIPS

Explore the SHIRE (starting point) Completley. There are items in this area the you will need later in the game.

If the game tells you there is a chest in a room, use the SKILL picklock, to open it. PIPIN TOOK has this skill.
