With The Return of the King >return of the rings. From simple arcade games to complex adventures and sprawling battle sims, The Lord of the Rings has been a major source of inspiration for software developers for over 20 years. Martyn Carroll sets off on a journey to uncover the many games based on Tolkein's epic work movie still raking in cash at cinemas up and down the country, and the extended DVD release due in November, it seems that no mere mortal will be able to escape the Lord of the Rings for the foreseeable future. You won’t find respite by playing videogames either, because EA has recently released its Return of the King tiein and are following it up later in the year with Lord of the Rings Trilogy, a game based on all three films. In a separate licensing deal, Vivendi Interactive are also releasing PC games based on the original book; the War of the Ring is out now and The Battle for Middle-earth is due out in the summer. The games are coming thick and fast, but it’s not the first time players have stepped into the shoes of their favourite Tolkien character and walk the world of Middle-earth. **19**
