LOTR computer games... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hi all,

I wonder if any of the other 'old timers' remember Middle Earth computer games from back in the last millenium? The two I can think of offhand were-

'The Hobbit' a classic text driven adventure game on the ZX Spectrum, where I don't think I ever got past the spiders in Mirkwood. Awesome at the time, laughable now I guess, infuriating trying to type in the right commands etc.

'Shadowfax' which was a ME shootemup where Gandalf zapped hordes of Nazgul with lightning bolts, possibly on BBC micro?? Amusing for a few minutes as I remember,

Cheers,
