Changes

All dates are in YY-MM-DD format.

• 02-09-06: At last time for some updates again. Only one game, Quest For Mordor, was added today but work has started on adding the upcoming commercial games. Check back soon for more!
• 01-12-17: Just in time for the new movie the finding of a prototype for the old Atari 2600 game The Lord of the Rings, Journey to Rivendell was announced! This is the grandest piece of news since Sierra bought the rights to make new games.
• 01-05-04: Created entries for The Fellowship of the Rings (the upcoming Sierra On-Line game), The 4th Age: The Lost Rings and the German game EgoAdventure and updated the Middle-earth entry.
• 00-07-30: Yes, it is finally time for another major update. The following new games have been added: The Hobbit and The Hobbit: Vol I; there is a new downloadable version of The Hobbit (by Bryce Fitzsimons); development has ceased for the freeware game The Trilogy; added new screen-shots to Belegost, Utumno and Orcs: Revenge of the Ancient; added new cover scans for Dungeon Adventure and Kingdom O' Magic; created pages with levels and scenarios for Starcraft, Panzer General and Heretic. And this is far from all on my backlog. I will be back with more!
• 00-05-26: This site is yet far from dead, although I admit to being more than usually behind with updates. Today, I corrected a number of dead links.
• 00-02-14: Added a link to two official home pages for Kingdom O' Magic and added links to reviews of The Boggit and Retarded Creatures and Caverns (and I also bought a rose for my girlfriend).
• 00-01-09: There are now plans for an MS-DOS version of Manic Miner: The Hobbit.
• 00-01-08: Added new games in a trilogy called Mines of Moria; added a page about Jet Set Willy: The Lord of the Rings (which has now been released along with its companion Manic Miner: The Hobbit); added new pages with scenarios for Warlords III and Heroes of Might and Magic III; corrected information about the MUD Mirkwood and added cover images for Orcs: Revenge of the Ancient, The Hobbit, Riders of Rohan, The Lord of the Rings & The Two Towers and Jewels of Darkness. Happy New Year!
• 99-11-15: Corrected links and added a personal evaluation for Utumno.
• 99-09-28: Sierra has discontinued development of Orcs: Revenge of the Ancient.
• 99-09-16: The author of Belegost was actually Miroslav Fidler.
• 99-09-13: Added the Australian company that produced Ring of Doom.
• 99-08-22: Updated the scheduled release dates of Orcs: Revenge of the Ancient and Middle-earth.
• 99-08-05: There is now a downloadable C64 version of Bored of the Rings.
• 99-08-02: Kingdom O' Magic was apparently never released for neither Sony Playstation nor Sega Saturn, but on the other hand it appears that the MS-DOS version was released in several different languages, including French, Italian, Spanish and German.
• 99-07-29: The MUDs Return of the Shadow and Akallabeth MUSH are officially open; there was a BBC version of The Hobbit with graphics; Kingdom O' Magic was apparently never released for Macintosh and added three new Heroes of Might and Magic II scenarios, Lord of Rings, Tolkien's Realm and War of the Ring!.
• 99-07-22: New version of The Trilogy; made a link to a preview of the upcoming Orcs: Revenge of the Ancient; Xconq is no longer distributed with the Middle Earth module; added some trivia and a link to Shadowfax and corrected the release year of Fuddo and Slam.
• 99-07-01: Clean-up of old links is under-way; found out that Not Lord of the Rings was made with Graphic Adventure Creator and made an educated guess as to its year of origin.
• 99-06-15: At long last these pages have been updated. Among many changes and improvements I have added the forthcoming game Orcs: Revenge of the Ancient and the MUDs Mordor and Akallabeth MUSH; updated information about the MUDs Genesis, Endorian Empires and The Lord of the Rings MUSH II; added new information about the German version of Middle-earth Play-By-Mail; translated the pages for German games into German (with some help); added a link to a page with specifications for the original data format of The Hobbit; new beta version of Bryce Fitzsimon's The Hobbit; Lord of the Rings for Microbee turned out not to be titled that at all, but Ring of Doom (distributed as ?desringen in Sweden); found out the name of the author of Belegost; corrected much information about the Eamon games; made the long-since promised major update of the Warcraft II page, including many new scenarios; updated the availability information for Interplay's The Lord of the Rings series; put up a scan of the manual cover of Riders of Rohan and added a whole new page for my personal list of the best Tolkien games. Also corrected many dead links and other minor clean-ups.

Changes before 99-06-15 have been moved to a page with old changes.
