Fidelity
An adaptation of the first volume of The Lord of the Rings. Released for MS-DOS in 1990, then Amiga and PC-98 in 1991 and FM Towns in 1992. Later versions use cutscenes from the 1978 animated film. A second volume covered The Two Towers.
Read first?
01
When to read first
Read Fellowship first if you have not. This is an adaptation of that book, not a side story.
02
When playing first is fine
Play after the book, as a period piece. The film clips in later ports are from the 1978 cartoon, not the Jackson films.
03
Why
The title tells you the volume. If that volume is unread, the game is a spoiler with inventory management.
