This game, i remember playing it when i was maybe 10 yo, 13ish years ago, i remember opening it in the morning in my mom's pc letting it play out in minas thirith, helm's deep or minas morgul, always defending, then i would go out for groceries with my parents and when i came back i would have the points maxed out and i would buy all the abilities, i spent so much time in this game, the LOTR universe as a whole is precious to me, its my favourite universe, its magical, familiar, distant yet so close.
This game developed my love for RTS games, i then started playing age of empires, but still this one holds a place in my heart because it was one of the first games ive ever played, i would spend whole days playing it witouth feeling bored.
Games like these may be old, but they should remain available to be played by everyone.
