You get the picture.

Now, that is great. I used to have such ideas when I was... some three years younger
But hey, maybe now that would be a project for the creative programmers among Downers (I am sure there would be some) - to create a game like that, with LotR setting (and keeping it to the books at that!).

Like most of the games on sale today... Simpler user interfaces, simpler moves and add the creativity to building up the mood and environment + making it feel like you really were in danger... That I'd appreciate.
