The second* instance of the Mandela effect that I can remember in my life was this game. I was CONVINCED that it had co-op. I had actual memories of playing the Mines of Moria segment with a friend. Maybe I dreamed it, maybe I played pretend fights of this part of the movie with my cousin in his living room, or maybe it was just because Return of the King supported two players, but returning to this and finding a single-player-only game was bewildering.

It's still a solid game, but it really just makes me want the sweet, sweet co-op action of RotK.

*The first was swearing that the animated movie Titan A.E. was based on a Sega Genesis game of the same name
