The Forest of Fear is a 1985 text-adventure video game from Eamon,[1][2] being the sequel to The Mines of Moria in The Lord of the Rings video game series.[2] The author of this game was Sam Ruby.[1]

The objective of the game is to free Mirkwood from the evil of Dol Guldur, the fortress of Sauron. There are some discrepancies from the source material, such as the inclusion of Stormtroopers, and that Treebeard lives in Mirkwood.[2]
