Shadowgate (old)

MacWise — Sat, 09 May 2009 04:46:14 +0000

The third of the MacVenture games, Shadowgate abandons the real world settings of the previous installments, taking the player to a land of magic and dragons. The goal is to reach the Warlock Lord's before he can open the Gates of Hell and summon the Behemoth. With a limited number of torches at your disposal and many ways to die if you fail a puzzle, this game is hard but totally worth your time.
