The Lord of the Rings: Volume 1 is a Super Nintendo RPG based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth fantasy saga. It stands out for party-based adventure gameplay with real-time combat rather than a purely menu-driven battle system.
- Cleaned, tested, and guaranteed to play. Authentic cartridge.
- Adventure/RPG structure follows a swords-and-sorcery quest through Middle-earth.
- Thousands of frames of rotoscoped animation give characters fluid, realistic movement for a 16-bit Super NES title.
- Each party character has unique personality traits and decision-making behavior during the adventure.
- Optional control: supports the Super NES Mouse for compatible gameplay input.
The story centers on destroying the One Ring while facing Sauron’s forces and the Balrog. Its “Volume 1” subtitle marks it as an early console adaptation focused on the opening stretch of Tolkien’s larger quest.
