In the plague year of 1918, the author was 26, with a recurring illness keeping him in and out of the exact place the virus was at its hottest: army hospitals. It is a quirk of history that we didn’t lose J.R.R. So each Wednesday throughout the year, we'll go there and back again, examining how and why the films have endured as modern classics. The sequel, The Lord of the Rings: Volume II, was meant to pick up where Part I left off, but due to poor sales, no sequel was ever released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.2021 marks The Lord of the Rings movies' 20th anniversary - and we couldn't imagine exploring the trilogy with just one piece. If a character dies, the death is permanent and the player cannot use them for the rest of the game. Unlike the book, however, the finale of the game is the fight between the Fellowship and the Balrog creature in the Mines of Moria (the first volume of the book ends significantly later). The game's plot takes the player to various locations from the book, such as the village of Bree, the elven city of Rivendell, and the Mines of Moria.

Much like the book, the game begins in the Shire, the land of the Hobbits. These items are often simple trinkets that have been misplaced by the game's non-player characters (NPCs). The game progresses through a series of 'fetch quests' in which the player must explore vast environments to retrieve items relevant to the game's story. Any characters not controlled by the player(s) are controlled by the computer A.I. Using cheats or an emulator, players could also play as a non-combatant Legolas or Gandalf, supporting up to 8 players (although Legolas cannot do anything but move around and take damage). Players could play as Frodo, Samwise, Pippin, Merry, Gimli, and Aragorn.

With the addition of extra controllers and the Super Multitap, the game supported more than four players. The player begins the game as Frodo Baggins, and progressively acquires the remaining members of the Fellowship Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took, Meriadoc Brandybuck, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf ( Boromir strangely only makes a single brief appearance). It is an adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring by J. I is an action role-playing game produced by Interplay Productions for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
