I remember being scared to death of this game when my grandma played it when I was a kid. As I grew up and became a gamer myself I would occassionally mention to my friends of a game called "stargate" that I played when I was younger than constantly killed me. When I decided to buy it I found out it was Shadowgate not Stargate which would explain why I could never find it on google. This is a point and click puzzle game secretly disguised as an adventure game. You will work through the castle Shadowgate to find and defeat the evil lord. Every wrong thing you do in this game leads to your characters death. Anything from opening a cage and getting mauled by a genetic mutation and going down a ladder to fall to your death lays await in this game. Many random things are required to beat it which leads to the idea of cheating by using the many walkthroughs out there for it. Don't! This game was ment to drive you nuts and make you spend days doing everything you can with your few options and an expending items list. With a walkthrough this seriously cuts the game down to only a half hour of playtime. I recommend this game to anyone who stills owns a nes 1because its a must have. (I'd also buy the game Trog if I didn't already own it! It's another must have.)Read full review
An excellent early version of D&D. Great condition for a game that's over 30 years old. The graphics and soundtrack alone make the gameplay itself very hypnotic, alluring and addictive. A puzzler from beginning to end. I highly recommend this game for those seeking adventure.

Shadow Gate was delivered on time. Works great and it brought back memories of my childhood. I've been trying to find this game for years. Now I have it, I am so happy. Thanks so very much.

Now is the time to collect vintage game's if your a nes fan then this game shadowgate should be a part of it, the complicated complex puzzles, designed too off you every step of the way, makes this game a top 20 contender for most difficult game's too beat. Unless you have help. Back then we didn't have this option.

It’s a dungeon puzzle game and a lot of fun. Replayed the whole game through last year again in one sitting. Was good fun!

The first of 3 point and click adventure games ported to the NES by Kemco. "The last thing that you remember is standing before the wizard Lakmir as he waved his hands. Now you find yourself staring at an entryway which lies at the edge of a forest. The druid's words ring in your ears: "Within the castle Shadowgate lies your quest. The dreaded Warlock Lord will use his black magic to raise the behemoth from the dark depths. The combination of his evil arts and the great titan's power will surely destroy us all! You are the last of the line of kings, the seed of prophecy that was foretold eons ago. Only you can stop the evil one from darkening our world forever! Fare thee well." Gritting your teeth, you swear by your god's name that you will destroy the Warlock Lord!" Released for the NES in 1989.Read full review

This has been one of my favorite games of all time! This game is the whole package-hidden object, mystery, puzzle, magic/folklore, horror, and a superb soundtrack backing all this adventure and excitement! A flawless game that offers plenty of excitement that is enjoyable for anyone age 10 & up. This game is survival horror at its best! You will love this game! *Note2parents- No profanity,no sex/nudity,no innuendo, no inappropriate content whatsoever! High replay value!
