I kēia mau lā, ua hoʻomaka wau i kahi ʻimi e ʻimi i kahi kope o ʻO JRR Tolkien ka Haku o nā Rings: Volume 1 no ka Super Nintendo - he pāʻani aʻu i hāʻawi ai i kahi pāʻani 3/10 i kekahi manawa aku nei. ʻAʻole au i ʻimi i kope ma ke ʻano he ʻano hoʻopaʻi ʻē aʻe, a i ʻole he mea hoʻohenehene paha - makemake wau e hoʻopaʻa hou iā ia no ka mea, ʻoiai he mea weliweli loa, loaʻa iaʻu kahi pilina maoli me ia.
Ma hope i ka makahiki 1994, i ka wā i paʻi mua ai ʻo Lord of the Rings i ka SNES, ua lilo wau i mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka moʻo noʻonoʻo i hoʻohanohano ʻia. ʻO kaʻu hoʻolauna ʻana i ko Tolkien honua ʻaʻole ia ka puke trilogy - a i ʻole ka moʻolelo prequel aloha keiki, ka Hobbit - akā ʻO Ralph Bakshi ka mana o ka makahiki 1978 o nā puke ʻelua Lord of the Rings - ʻO ka pilina o ke apo a Na Hulina Elua - a, ma muli o kēia ʻano like ʻole (akā aloha ʻia) i ka Middle-earth, heluhelu wau i nā puke kumu i kekahi mau makahiki ma hope. I koʻu wā ʻōpio, ua pōloli au e ʻai i ka nui o nā media e pili ana i ka moʻolelo e like me ka hiki - ʻo ia hoʻi, i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 90, ʻaʻole i maʻalahi e like me kāu e manaʻo ai (Peter Jackson's blockbuster movies. aia ma kahi mamao aku).
E like me kāu e noʻonoʻo ai, makemake wau e kau i koʻu mau lima ma luna o Lord of the Rings no ka SNES, ʻoiai ʻo ka pāʻani ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka moʻo aʻu i pāʻani ai - Kaua ma Waena-honua ma kaʻu Atari ST - he mea hōʻeha. ʻO Interplay, ka hui ma hope o ka SNES outing, ua hana mua i ʻelua mau pāʻani Lord of the Rings no nā kamepiula pilikino, akā ʻike wale wau i nā kiʻi paʻi ma nā makasina a ʻaʻole wau i pāʻani maoli iā lākou. No laila, ke komo nei au i loko o ka mana SNES me kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka manaʻo maikaʻi - ka manaʻo maikaʻi i hoʻonui i ka nui o kaʻu heluhelu ʻana e pili ana i ka nui o ka pāʻani i nā mākaʻikaʻi o ka manawa.
ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o Lord of the Rings: Volume 1 ua lohi iki, a i ka manawa i hiki mai ai i 1994, ke kūkulu nei ka hauʻoli no ka hanauna hou o ka pāʻani, me ka 3DO a me Atari Jaguar i loaʻa a me ka Sony PlayStation a me Sega Saturn ʻelua. e kau mai ana ma ka lewa. Eia nō naʻe, he mea pāʻani koʻikoʻi wau a ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka pāʻani ʻo Interplay's SNES i hōʻaiʻē nui mai ka 1978 animated film i hoʻopaʻa wale i koʻu makemake e pāʻani maoli.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka wehe ʻana i kaʻu mau kikoʻī rose-tinted no kekahi manawa, ʻike wau ʻo ia nō aole he pāʻani wikiō maikaʻi. Ua ʻoʻoleʻa nā kaohi, ua ʻoluʻolu nā kaiapuni a ua ʻeha ka hana pāʻani. ʻAʻohe koho hoʻihoʻi pākaukau, no laila pono ʻoe e hoʻokomo i kahi ʻōlelo huna i waiho ʻia i kēlā me kēia manawa āu e makemake ai e hoʻomau i kāu huakaʻi. A, e like me ka 'Volume 1' ma ke poʻo inoa, ʻaʻole kēia ka moʻolelo piha - ua pau ia i ka manawa āu i hōʻea ai i Rivendell, ʻo ia hoʻi, ua nalowale kekahi pūʻulu o nā manawa kupaianaha ʻē aʻe i loko o nā puke. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke mele - ʻoiaʻiʻo, ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa wau ʻo ia kekahi o nā leo kani maikaʻi loa ma ka SNES.
ʻOiai ʻo ia mau hemahema, ua hoʻomau au. No ka mea, ma ka waena o '90s, he liʻiliʻi koʻu ma ke ʻano o ka loaʻa kālā (ʻo wau i ke kula) no laila pono wau e hōʻoia e loaʻa iaʻu ka i kā mākou ka nui o ka lealea a me ka lealea mai o kela pāʻani aʻu i kūʻai ai - ʻoiai he mea weliweli. Eia naʻe, ke manaʻo nei au ʻo kaʻu pilina lōʻihi i ka honua o Middle-earth ka mea maoli hoʻoikaika iaʻu e hoʻomau i ka hele ʻana; Aloha au i nā hana a Tolkien (ʻoiai ma hope o ʻelua mau makahiki ma mua o ka mea i hiki ke wehewehe ʻia me ke aloha nui ʻana ma hope o nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a Jackson) akā ʻo Lord of the Rings: Volume 1 i hele mai i ka manawa i lilo ai ʻo Frodo, Samwise a me Gandalf i nā mea pāʻani pāʻani. ka honua o ka moʻomeheu kaulana, a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua pāʻani lākou i kahi pāʻani ma my Ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka SNES i ka ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa ma mua o ka mea maoli.
A eia mākou, i ka makahiki 2021. He mau makahiki ma hope o ke kūʻai aku ʻana i kaʻu pāʻani mua i ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ai au i kaʻu hōʻiliʻili SNES e kūʻai i kahi PlayStation (kala mai iaʻu, Miyamoto!), Ua kiʻi au i kahi kope ʻē aʻe - ʻaʻole no ka pāʻani, akā no ka pāʻani. Loaʻa wale i loko o ka hōʻiliʻili e hoʻomanaʻo mai iaʻu ʻaʻole pono nā pāʻani a pau e lilo i pōhaku anuanu i mea e aloha ai ʻoe iā lākou me ke ʻano ʻole.
He aha ka pāʻani 'ino' āu e makemake ai ma mua o nā kumu āpau? A he aha ka moʻolelo ma hope o ia pilina? E haʻi mai iā mākou me kahi manaʻo ma lalo.
