It was my first game on the first PC that I was bought. Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore, and the PC version lags far behind others, especially the Xbox version, which has a lot more content.I would really like this game to take on a new lease of life with all the content.

played this back in the day on PS2 and loved every second of it. Loved how its close to the books, the soundtrack is perfect and i still listen to it at night to relax, its charming in its own way. Nightdive should give this a crack and id be just as happy to have it simply here.

I remember playing the Demo of this game every day as a kid; The Stone-troll on Weathertop was terrifying! Dude, what I'd give to be able to play this flawed gem again on a modern system. - Great music - Great details from the books squeezed in all over the place - Lore-accurate Orcs

Xbox version is the definitive version of this game, but I'd take the pc version over nothing. The xbox version has amazing music and atmosphere, more content and different UI, used to play and replay it over and over as a kid. It had a mechanic where if you wore the ring when you played Frodo too long throughout the entire game a meter would slowly fill up, and if it became full you'd become a Nazgul and the game ended.

Despite its flaws, it's a game with an utterly beautiful atmosphere and music. I'd buy it immediately just to replay it and relive the nostalgia :) I hope I can get enough votes. I'll buy it at any price.

An action adventure in Middle-Earth. It´s a direct-from-book story. Meeting Tom Bombadil (who is complete missing in the films) and Glorfindel with Asfaloth. Especially the part of leaving The Shire by avoiding the Nazgul - creepy. ^-^

I've loved Lord of the rings for as long as I can remember, I have fond memories of being a kid playing this game and struggling with the burrow wrights. I would play for hours doing what I could, and when I could do no more I'd restart so I can try again. Would love to experience that game again for sure!

This, alongside Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was the first video game I owned and was gifted to me at Christmas by my Gran. Extremely fond memories of the book-based lore, the soundtrack, and gameplay of this gem of a LOTR game and would love to see it easily accessible to all!

I've had the demo from a PC magazine. It was amazing. It was a year after I read the books. I wish to play the whole game, to experience the whole quest. Pirated version is an option too, but .... nah. I'm too old for this s*it. I want a legal and easy way to play it

I remember playing this as a kid and struggling the whole way, I would not have enough mana for Gandalf bc I would play around and use it all. Or I would not have enough arrows for Arogon bc I was a crappy shot. Sometimes I didn't have enough food bc I thought everyone was a tank. But it eventually taught my 13 year old self that item management is fundamentally a necessity in some games and now that I'm a adult I would love the opportunity to play the game how it was meant to be played. The lord of the rings is a important piece of entertainment history alot of us myself included have at least watched the movies. And what is history if there is no beginning?

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
