The Shadowgate remake - Out now on Steam!
Guess who´s back? That´s, Shadowgate baby!
Back in 1987 there was a really awesome point-and-click adventure game for the NES named "Shadowgate" (developed by ICOM Simulations, Inc.). Well, Shadowgate has had a very strong fan community (that´s also one of the reasons why Shadowgate got released to many different formats) since the very start (the fans has keept the Shadowgate spirit alive over the years).
And that´s probably why Zojoi was able to collect over $137,000 in total via Kickstarter back in 2012. Awesome indeed, but it get´s better. Because today a fan informed me (us) that the Shadowgate Remake has been released on Steam (there´s even a 10% price-cut at the moment).
And the game is all yours for 17,99 Euro. So if you are a fan of Shadowgate (or adventure games for that matter), then you should pickup the remake of Shadowgate asap!

About Shadowgate:
Shadowgate is one of the most well-known and beloved point-and-click adventure titles in gaming history. As one of the original titles in the popular MacVenture series that went on to be celebrated on the NES, GBC and Nintendo 64, Shadowgate quickly endeared players with its fantastic atmospheric soundtrack, perilous locations to progress through, countless puzzles to solve, and more ways to gruesomely die than gamers previously thought possible.
Thrust into the role of "The Seed of Prophecy," players travel deep into the living castle, in hopes of defeating the evil that dwells within – the dreaded Warlock Lord. Now, nearly 30 years after the original version haunted Mac and NES gamers, the original development team behind that timeless classic is back with a full re-imagining of the original Shadowgate.
Much more than a port, the team at Zojoi has painstakingly redesigned the game from the ground up, adding in tons of new mind-bending puzzles, lots of new rooms with stunning hand-painted 2D graphical detail, and more objects to interact with and help you along your quest. Decide how YOU want to play this new, re-imagined Shadowgate! Want the quintessential experience?
Employ the Classic command system or turn on the retro soundtrack, text box, and room transitions. Want a more cinematic experience? Switch to Immersive mode by auto-hiding the UI and using customizable hotkeys to explore the castle. Or mix and match the options to satisfy your play style. In Shadowgate, there are plenty of new features and fun throwbacks to the original version to satisfy veteran adventurers and newcomers alike!
