Lord of the Rings - Volume One is a video game adaptation of J.R.R Tolkien's famous book, which is quite different from its computer counterpart.
The events in the game roughly correspond to those depicted in the first volume of Lord of the Rings trilogy. The player takes control of Frodo Baggins, who must find companions for his quest. The game's locations, individual objectives, missions, and quests are structured quite differently from the computer release. Most of the quests involve retrieving items for various NPCs, thus advancing the narrative.
The gameplay is different from the computer version, being less focused on character development and more oriented towards action-based combat. One player can control only one character at a time, but up to three characters join Frodo on his quest. Multiplayer has been added, with up to four players controlling the characters in the party simultaneously.
The game cartridge does not contain any RAM/battery; games can only be saved by remembering a code. The code must later be entered into the game to continue.
