Play J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Vol. II: The Two Towers Online – MS-DOS Game

Game Overview

J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Vol. II: The Two Towers is a classic MS-DOS role-playing game that adapts the second book of Tolkien’s legendary trilogy. As a direct sequel to Vol. I, it continues the epic quest to destroy the One Ring, with players guiding multiple character parties through Middle-earth’s perilous landscapes. The game features top-down exploration, turn-based combat, and quest-driven progression, staying faithful to the source material’s split narrative by shifting control between Frodo and Sam’s journey, Aragorn’s pursuit of the Uruk-hai, and other key storylines.

Released in 1992, The Two Towers builds on its predecessor’s mechanics while embracing the book’s fragmented structure, offering a deeper and more varied experience. Its pixel-art visuals, strategic combat, and adherence to Tolkien’s lore make it a notable entry in early RPGs—especially for fans of the series. Though dated by modern standards, it remains a nostalgic piece of gaming history for Lord of the Rings enthusiasts.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
