War in Middle-earth is a real-time strategy game developed by Synergistic Software and published by Melbourne House. It was released in 1988 for various platforms including the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC. The game is based on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy world of Middle-earth, specifically focusing on the events depicted in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Players take on the role of the Free Peoples of Middle-earth, including the forces of Gondor, Rohan, and the Elves, as they battle against the dark armies of Sauron, including Orcs, Trolls, and Nazgul.
The Games Machine - UK (1989): "Even when you've completed War in Middle Earth there is still plenty to do such as refining your strategies and locating all the hidden objects. There's little difference between the three 16-bit versions reviewed here other than sound and some minor graphical differences, but the game plays just as well on all formats."
