Naturally, when Shadowgate was remade a few years back, I was intrigued, but for some reason never really pulled the trigger and played it, even though I knew I would enjoy the nostalgia trip. The hours I sunk into Shadowgate are probably easily in the hundreds, as the soundtrack and gameplay have been etched into my brain, and still to this day is one of my favorite games ever, bringing back a flood of childhood memories.
Eventually Nintendo Power, or one of the other gaming magazines at the time, published a walkthrough, well before the internet days, and I was finally able to beat it. I can’t even imagine how much she spent on renting me that game every weekend, as I tried every time to solve puzzles and make my way out of that castle. If I knew how many times I was going to make my mom rent my Shadowgate for NES back when it released, I would have done the math and shown her that simply buying it outright would have been far cheaper in the long run.
