War in Middle Earth Melbourne House (Synergistic Software)1989For the first time, Tolkien's panoramic vision of the cataclysmic struggle between good and evil has been skillfully crafted into a single computer war game of epic proportions.

Follow in the footsteps of Frodo, Aragon and Gandalf as they battle to get The One Ring to the Crack of Doom. Ranged against you are all the evil forces of the Dark Lord Sauron and the corrupt wizard Saruman. The odds are overwhelming but you cannot afford to fail. The destiny of Middle Earth hangs in the balance.

The conflict takes place on a smoothly scrolling map of Middle Earth, true to all the rich detail of Tolkien's books.

Plan your strategies, move your armies into position, and prepare for battle. At your option you can position EACH INDIVIDUAL WARRIOR in your army in the fully animated battle sequences. Just like your favorite board games, only better because it's animated!

The special portrait gallery lets you view all the key leaders in the fray. You can examine your own forces at any time, however you must find the palantir before you can spy on the forces of evil.

Each time you play, Sauron will subtly change his warplan, challenging your strategy skills anew. Nazguls, orcs, trolls, and other evil characters deploy to give you a different test of skill in each game.

War in Middle Earth is a classic addition to any war games collection.***

Battle Master  PSS1990BATTLE MASTER
GAME DESCRIPTION

The world was enmeshed in a terrible conflict. Humans mistrusted Dwarves, Dwarves hated Elves, Elves despised Orcs, and Orcs hated everyone. The rivers ran with the blood of battle and the land stank only of death. Civilization was spiraling towards decay.

AND THEN THE WATCHER CAME.

He prophesied that a leader would emerge from the south. A leader brave enough to stand face to face with dragons and survive, shrewd enough to solve the most complex enigmas and experienced enough to know when to parley and when to fight. He would be someone familiar with magic, capable of intelligent strategy who would buy, loot and barter with one single aim, to gather a powerful force of men, win back the four king’s crowns and restore the world to everlasting peace.

The Watcher has issued his challenge. Dare you take it up?:

FEATURES* Top quality arcade action. * A huge, detailed fantasy world to explore – complete with castles, villages and underground mines. * 16 different leaders from 4 different races to choose from devious puzzles, fiendish traps, countless magic objects. * Fight, negotiate or trade for extra troops. * Adopt your own battle formations.***
