Sam Gamgee's true name in Westron is Banazîr Galpsi. Sauron once served as a lieutenant to Melkor, also known as Morgoth. Frodo never reached Mordor; he died at the hands of three identical men in a mill at the edge of the Shire. These plot twists are from the 1990 CRPG, The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I, developed by Interplay. The game presents a version of Frodo as a middle-aged hobbit, contrasting with the youthful portrayal in the films. The visual interpretations of Gandalf and Aragorn in the game depict them in a more rugged and relatable manner compared to their cinematic versions. The Internet Archive provides access to this gaming experience.
