The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I is a 1990 role-playing game developed by Interplay for DOS. Based closely on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring, it puts you in control of Frodo as he sets out from the Shire, recruiting iconic companions and exploring a vast, top-down world.

How to play

Your objective is to guide the Fellowship on their journey, engaging in tactical combat and interacting with the world using a menu-driven interface. The game is controlled using standard DOS keyboard inputs; use the arrow keys to move and navigate menus, and Enter to confirm actions. For a full-screen experience in the browser, press Right Alt + Enter.

Tips

Explore the Shire thoroughly before leaving; gathering items and speaking to characters early on will better prepare you for the dangers ahead.
Pay attention to the day and night cycle, as visibility is limited in the dark and enemies behave differently.
Combat is tactical and relies on line-of-sight. Position your party carefully to keep weaker characters safe behind stronger fighters.
