Any Middle Earth related board games, video games, card games, etc. The War of the Ring board game is Gandalf's particular interest, but it's all good.

The Lego Hobbit and Lego Lord of the Rings games are only $5 on Steam right now, so I'm buying both.

This is from the old game The Hobbit for the Apple II.

I think I might have played either it or The Fellowship of the Ring on the Apple II, but I don't have them in my old software collection, so I'm not sure.

But, if I recall correctly, these are actually kind of a mix of text adventure and graphics. A lot like an Infocom game, but with graphics for each room.

It took roughly a year for me to paint every one of the 205 pieces.

It is really satisfying to play the game with the pieces I painted.

Of course, all the action happens in the online client which I haven't tried yet. And weirdly, none of the pieces are painted in the digital version.
