After Almost 30 Years Shadowgate Returns

Shadowgate, the beloved first person point and click adventure which was first released on the Mac in 1987 and later made its way to the Nintendo Entertainment System(NES), gets re-imagined in today's touch interface world. The new version will feature a newly illustrated castle, new puzzles, new rooms, dramatic cut-scenes, and orchestrated music.

The game is being developed for the PC, Mac, IOS, and Android platforms.  No word yet on a release date.

I have to say the game is perfect to play on an iPad or other tablet. Lets hope this is the beginning of a resurgence in point and click story driven adventure games, because I want more.

From the Devs:
“The last thing that you remember is standing before the wizard Lakmir as he gestured wildly and chanted in an archaic tongue. Now you find yourself staring at an entryway which lies at the edge of a forest.”

So begins the legend of Shadowgate – the granddaddy of all ‘point and click’ fantasy adventure games and NES FAVORITE! This unique adventure paved the way for a host of adventure games to follow, sold millions of copies and has been ported to nearly 10 different platforms!

Zojoi, the creators of Shadowgate, are proud to announce the RE-IMAGINING of Shadowgate!
