Name: Rings of Power
Author/Vendor: Naughty Dog/Electronic Arts
Released: 1991
Type: RPG
Language: English
Premise: Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to collect all of the Rings of Power and use them to remake the Rod of Creation, thus restoring the Golden Age.
Impressions: A fantasy RPG utilizing the same scrolling isometric world scheme as Populous, but not as successfully. In addition, the colors are garish and animation is awfully jerky. The authors were obviously inspired by Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy but their enthusiasm did not seem to spill over into making a good game. In fact, the hidden "Easter egg" may be the best thing about it.
