This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Rings of Power is a Sega Mega Drive RPG developed by Naughty Dog and published by Electronic Arts. It is played in an isometric perspective.

Gameplay

Rings of Power is highly non-linear and most of the game world can be explored after the initial introduction scenario.

The game requires the player to keep food and water in stock, or else the party's health will decrease. However, this can easily be cheated by using the "camp" option, which restores more health than the lack of food or water consumables.

Rings of Power was one of the first games to feature a 'nude code', which would unclothe the woman next to the Naughty Dog logo.
