Since it’s a new year (and a late post), I’ll put two up for this month only. But first, a little info about Shadowgate…

Storyline:

As the last of the Line of Kings, only you possess the power to prevent the evil Warlock Lord from raising the Behemoth and unleashing it upon the land. Your quest lies within the Castle Shadowgate with its secret passageways, collapsing floors, and armed creatures. Your courage and wisdom will see you through… but a good sword might be helpful.

–From the NES Shadowgate instruction manual.

This game was known for two things: imminent death and high difficulty. So, if you’re a nerd with a sadist urge for failure, then I suggest you play Shadowgate. I know I will!

Enjoy!
