Atari ST A to Z: Shadowgate

Thou art dead! Again. Yes, it’s time for Shadowgate, a fairly notorious point-and-click adventure from the “Macventures” series — rebranded, of course, to “Atariventures” for its ST release.

Like its stablemates Deja Vu and Uninvited, Shadowgate is a challenging adventure that is rather fond of killing off the player in a variety of cruel and unusual ways. The game is always fair, though; you just need to learn the rules it’s playing by in order to make a little more progress with each save you reload!

One thought on “Atari ST A to Z: Shadowgate”

  1. As much as I enjoyed Shadowgate the thing that (even now) sticks in my mind is the constant torch juggling which added a sense of urgency that I think was rare for adventures at the time.
