List of Middle-earth video games


This is a list of Middle-earth video games. It includes both video games based directly on J. R. R. Tolkien's books about Middle-earth, and those derived from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films by New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. which in turn were based on Tolkien's novels of the same name. Note that some titles advertised as ports for the most disparate platforms were in fact greatly or completely different games, organized as separate projects, or by independent studios.
