Hi Dark,
Yeah, I know. Tolkien invested a lot of his life to building up the
history, languages, and myths for his books which is one reason they
are so good. Few authors devote that much effort for their work and
are far less developed in scope. This is why it is difficult for a
game developer
The sad part is Jackson knew perfectly well.
But thou must!

Hi Tom.
I'd actually recommend looking at the articals on the encyyclopedia of arda
site as I said, since they're really well written, intended for people like
yourself who are casual fans, and yet highlight some of the differences
betwene the films and books, and which differences cause
Hi Tom.
As regards cannon this is unfortunately true. Much as I enjoy the super
starwars trilogy of games on the Snes, it is unfortunately truet hat a lot
of liberties were taken.
for example, the first level sees you playing as Luke sky walker wandering
through the dune sea of tatueen
Hi Dark,
Well, not everyone is a purest, and that is another issue to consider
when writing games. Some customers are not going to care about cannon
or be a die-hard purest just as long as they can play their favorite
character. Others such as yourself get upset if a game developer or a
producer
Hi tom.
I do take your point, and it is certainly true in terms of Doctor who and
starwars I've seen a lot of things slide and it is also true I can enjoy a
game as a game just as well as the next person. one intrinsic problem in

who has done the series justice yet. As has been mentioned on list all

Hi Charles,
Complete with what? I'm afraid I didn't quite get what you were asking.
If you mean complete with game tokens the answer would be yes. My LOTR
Monopoly set has a number of pieces of Gandolf, Aragorn, and all the
rest of the main characters so if I converted the game into an
Hi Bryan,
That's why I pointed out a game would do better to pick one aspect of
the books/movies such as the Mines of Moria or something else rather
than attempting to squeeze everything from Fellowship of the Ring to
Return of the King into one game. It can't sanely be done, and even if

Hi tom.
while I wouldn't say no to an escape from moria type of game, one of the
intrinsic problems about such a game is that like peter jaxon, you'd really
have to tinker with the population of moria and locations within it. For
example, the journey is relatively unevently until the
Hi Dark,
True. However, I was merely throwing the Mines of Moria idea out there
as a case example of how the three books could be trimmed down to
something manageable by a single developer rather than an actual idea
for a LOTR game. For a real LOTR game I would probably do something
along the
Not sure. A side scroller, maybe even a 3 D one, would be interesting,
especially when you get to Mordor. Maybe something along the lines of Ark
of Hope.
