Haradwaith is an Eamon game (number 130 in the Eamon Adventurer's Guild's list). It is uncertain if this is part of any of Sam Ruby's two series, but it is probably the second and final part of the War of the Ring series. You have to act as a spy for Gondor and journey south to find out the enemy's plans of attack.

Personal evaluation: This is actually a very good game if you can live with the all too obvious "Rambo" approach.

Screen shot

In a very original part of the game you have to take command of a battle ship and go to war against the enemy's navy.
