Lord of the Rings Fan Makes Nostalgic Discovery in Secondhand Store appeared on gamerant.com by Game Rant.
Highlights
- Thrift stores can be treasure troves for finding rare and nostalgic video games, as one lucky Reddit user discovered an original PC disc and case for The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth 2.
- It is rare to find physical copies of PC games in today’s digital age, making this nostalgic find even more exceptional and valuable, especially considering its fantastic condition and remarkably low price.
- While fans of The Lord of the Rings franchise have been disappointed by recent game releases, the beloved Battle for Middle-earth 2 remains a cherished gem, praised for its strategy mechanics, hero system, and book-accurate lore.
A Reddit user has shared an unexpected, nostalgia-filled game discovery from their visit to a secondhand shop in Europe, coming across an original PC game disc and case for The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth 2. Many gamers are familiar with thrift stores as an ideal place to find classic retro and throwback games, though this find is certainly among the more surprising.
In the modern digital age of PC gaming, it is undeniably uncommon for games to be released on physical discs. However, for one lucky fan of The Lord of the Rings, an exceptional find of this iconic game has left many with a rush of nostalgia. The case appears to be in phenomenal condition, with the only markings being two sales stickers on the top and lower-middle of the front cover of the game case. The lower sticker lists the game at €9.99 while the upper sticker marks the beloved game as being on sale for the unbelievably low price of just €1.00
The Lord of the Rings: the Battle for Middle-earth 2 was praised upon initial release and has been lauded for years as one of the best video games ever made based on the ever-popular The Lord of the Rings franchise. It is best remembered for having top-tier strategy mechanics, a rewarding hero system, and book-accurate lore and artwork while also having some of the best online multiplayer during its heyday.
Many users have noted in the replies how incredibly lucky this find truly is, with a few users pointing out that physical copies of The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth 2 are often found going for upwards of $100. While it is not uncommon to find old video games at thrift shops, it is generally unheard of for them to be found in almost pristine condition and for such a spectacularly low price. Sales stickers aside, this copy of The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth 2 is almost as precious a find as the One Ring itself.
Many gaming fans of The Lord of the Rings franchise have been patiently waiting for a new game to return them to the realm of Middle-earth. Unfortunately, the latest game based on the popular books and films was a massive disappointment. Daedalic Entertainment’s release of Gollum received overwhelmingly negative ratings and even resulted in Daedalic issuing an apology and shutting down its development studio. Not all hope is lost for Middle-earth and its admirers, though. The upcoming action-adventure survival game The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria promises a procedurally generated world with both single-player and multiplayer options. And while fans await the potential of a new hero to rise among The Lord of the Rings games, they can still look back fondly at The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth 2.
The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth 2 is available on PC and Xbox 360.
