A remake/"reimagining" of the 1987 classic Shadowgate for Apple, Mac, NES, Atari ST, Amiga, and many other early platforms. The evil, near-omnipotent warlock Talimar has corrupted Shadowgate, "the living castle" and plans to Take Over The World Play as the young soldier Jair Cathegar, the "chosen one" of Lakmir, and the only person who can stop Talimar. A unique game with some unusual options such as choosing between the soundtrack of the 1987 NES version and an atmospheric modern soundtrack Find out more in the *** review of Shadowgate by oldmariner ***

Thank you, oldmariner .... A good review !! I played some of the original and did find it difficult  [Not on my own machine, I might add. I didn't own a suitable one then.]

Very interesting review, oldmariner. I too am impressed that you made it through the entire game, as it sounds intimidating.   Thanks, Jenny.  Intimidating is a good descriptor. I had no idea what to expect going in and when you get zapped all you can do is go to the last save. The rule is save every time you pick up a new item or make it through a screen. When all is lost go find a video walk through sometimes it helps but not always. Thanks for the nice comments and rest assured I'm not doing that game again.
