You’ve just entered Shadowgate, a once shining fortress, now a dark smoldering ruin. Swallow your fear and take up your torch. In your hands lies the fate of your land... freedom and sunlight, or the dark domination of the Warlock Lord. Only you, the last of an ancient line of kings, can hope to stop the evil one from his dread purpose: the raising of the titan Behemoth and the destruction of all you hold dear. The original Macintosh AND Apple IIgs versions have been restored to their original glory! Come see where the world of first-person fantasy adventures started and experience the classic adventure as it appeared in 1987.

It's pretty clear why it's iPad only, but still...a little part of me wishes I could run this on iPhone. Still, pick this up guys. An absolute classic with some of the best chiptunes on the planet. The main Shadowgate theme is unforgettable. Hopefully this is paving the way for the remake's appearance on iPad too.

Or the original with a graphic overhaul? I'm so interested to check this out when it's released in the US.

Something like the fact that the remake was also just released.

No time better than the present I guess!

Edit: Nevermind. Just saw your post! I'm wondering how different it is from the NES version...and that didn't take long. Just needed to wait for that app info. I'll be buying the remastered one.

Jubbleston Member Apr 26, 2015 7 0 0 #10 Jubbleston, Oct 22, 2015 Wow, I spent so much time on this back when I was in high school. Fun memories. That said, if this is faithful to the original, beware that this is a game from an era where adventure games were extremely frustrating and unforgiving. I recall Shadowgate being absolutely packed with tantalizing red herrings. There are more than a handful of locked doors and inaccessible locations that REALLY look important but they are not.

Be careful what you ask for. These are much better. midian3x Member Apr 13, 2013 22 0 0 #13 midian3x, Oct 24, 2015 I get the title screen asking me to pick which version I want. It will not load either game. Ipad4 WTF (You must log in or sign up to post here.) Show Ignored Content Share This Page Tweet Your name or email address: Password: Forgot your password?
