Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Rings of Power
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Naughty Dog/Electronic Arts
RELEASED:         1991
TYPE:             RPG
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to
                  collect all of the Rings of Power and use them to remake
                  the Rod of Creation, thus restoring the Golden Age.

IMPRESSIONS:      A fantasy RPG utilizing the same scrolling isometric
                  world scheme as Populous, but not as successfully.  In
                  addition, the colors are garish and animation is awfully
                  jerky.  The authors were obviously inspired by Tolkien's
                  Lord of the Rings trilogy but their enthusiasm did not
                  seem to spill over into making a good game.  In fact, the
                  hidden "Easter egg" may be the best thing about it.

Press DOWN, RIGHT, START, A, B, & C buttons on controller 2, and reset for a hidden picture of a topless chick. No B.S. involved!

The creators of Crash Bandicoot (another crappy game/series I might add) bring you this semi-entertaining Lord of the rings rip-off game, which really isn't TOO bad. I just find it funny how the graphics are so MS Paint-like. Anyways, I liked it a little, and it's sorta fun to play. I guess its passable.

Whoever writes the "Impressions" on this website is a * asshole.

This is the best console 16-bit game ever.

So, take off your pink bunny suit, and stop eating your kawaii sushi marshmallow puke. AND PLAY REAL GAMES! Instead of that "cute" animanga crap that not EVEN THE JAPANESE LIKE!

Warriors of the Eternam Sun and Rings of Power are the two best console RPG games from the early 90's.

one of my fave rpg games, i just love the amount of detail that has went into this game which keeps it very fresh.
the game also includes great sound and lastibility, this game is still meant to be the longest rpg to date.

8/10 gameplay is nothing to boast but its still fun

Blah, blah, blah... So many negative comments and no link to download the ROM! Hey, if you think Rings Of Power, one of the greatest RPGs of all time is not good, why don't you try and develop something better, huh? Sorry, but I'm having a hard time trying to find it for downloading and clicking to see a page full of criticism about it is just unbearable...

Although one of the more obscure rpgs on the Genesis, Rings of Power is also one of the most rewarding should you give it the time it deserves. I admit myself, the first time I played it, I nearly put it down for good. When I got into it though, I became hooked and now I have dedicated a site specially to this game! Maybe not as impressive as the Phantasy Star games but certainly by far the most overlooked rpg ever. Give it a try if you can find a copy.

I agree that the animation is awfully jerky, but graphix and animations is not that makes a good RPG. The game has the most impressive world world i ever seen, with a great story. Itґs exremly hard to complete, mutch becouse size. It has also mutch variation, and let the player be really creative. I have played trought almost every GenesisMega Dive RPG, but the greatset memory a have is from this games is Rings of Power. It seems like "everyone" nowdays just care about grapix and FPS, and not give games like this a change. I love retro rpg better than new ones, i meen itґs like to read a good book, to let your fantasy create beautiful images. All i have to say... give this game a change...
