The original design of the never-before seen point and click adventure is being brought to life after 30+ years in the vault – Beyond Shadowgate! The game is being created by the designers of the original 8-bit hit Shadowgate and a leading 8-bit adventure studio! With a story that is over four times larger than Shadowgate, Beyond Shadowgate captures the same look and feel as the 8-bit console version while including modern design sensibilities. Get ready for the ultimate Shadowgate sequel!

Tbh I’ll be surprised it this gets any upvotes.

But I grew up with this series on the ol’ 8-bit Nintendo. And if you search for it online, there’s NO news story about this. I found it because I have a calendar reminder to visit their Kickstarter every few weeks.

The game looks great!

Hopefully this gets them some Lemmy attention and gets them some marketing.

I played the N64 version. Some of those games were tough before web browsing was a thing.

I never played that one! Would you recommend it?

Shadowgate 64 doesn’t hold your hand, but I can recommend it.

I’m also on that Kickstarter, really happy this one is nearing release. Now wondering if I should be doing a play through of the original Shadowgate before jumping into this one.

All the MacVenture games were awesome (Deja Vu and Uninvited are up there too), don’t worry you’ll get a few upvotes from others that used to play these games :)

I recently played the 2014 version and thought it was fantastic! Apparently it was released with bugs during launch, which gave it a lot of bad reviews.

At the end of the game, it prompted the Kickstarter, which how I learned about it!

Really excited for this and the Broken Sword Remaster that comes out on the same day. Shadowgate was my gateway to learning English. I sat in front of my NES with a dictionary when I was like 10 or 11 years old. Even managed to beat the game that way.

Console? You mean Macintosh?

Either way, I'm glad to see it getting some love; I played it on Amiga growing up.

The Mac was the original version.

This release is following the NES UI and graphics!

I hope they will keep a rendition of this masterpiece
