I'll only add that during the SNES era, one of Interplay's better titles was made that I happened to play. Lord of the Rings (Fellowship of the Ring) was a very fun Zelda-ish title, only lacking in that it oddly enough used a password system instead of a save system (very annoying). The game was one of the better looking and sounding SNES games. Didn't do too well though, because I think at the time LOTR just wasn't popular enough to draw a crowd to it (which would be why they never finished the trilogy). Still, a very good game. Indeed, that company seems to have an odd habit of making garbage and sometimes gold.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
