Let's get this review started,Shadowgate is a NES point and click game,I'm going to give the basic run down of the game
and then i'll get down to the actual key parts of the game (Graphics,Story,Sounds,Etc.)

Shadowgate is a pretty tough NES point and click where you venture through a dungeon(Original I know).
You will face a lot of puzzles and enemies throughout the rooms of this labyrinth,minotaurs,trolls,werewolves,the works.
Now,let me talk about the gameplay a bit before I get to the other categories.
Of course it's the normal,move the cursor over stuff.You select the normal use/take/open/look,normal stuff
from most point and clicks,nothing different here...Except that you must ALWAYS have a torch lit and with you
for every room is dark in this game,so no torches equals..Game over,but luckily you have unlimited continues,witch is a
BLESSING for this game!Onto the review!

Graphics
The graphics in this game are pretty good,you can tell what everything is and it's still keeping
the idea that it's still an 8 Bit game. I give the graphics a 9(For the time atleast)

Sound
The sound is pretty good,there are only about 2 songs in the game,the death song,and the normal track that plays.
I give it a...6,not that great but not bad.

Story
Not much story AT ALL really,here i'll give you as much as they give you:
"The last thing you remember was standing before the wizard Lakmir as he waved his hands,gritting your teeth,you swear by your god's name you will destroy the warlock lord!"
and that's it,really...It get's a 4 from me.

Depth
The game isn't too long,but thanks to trial and error,it lasts quite a bit,and it takes some brain power to win.
I give it a 7.

Addictiveness
This is where most of the reason people played comes from,this game is addicting.
You will continue and continue,you will save and come back.You WILL come back!
It get's a 8 from me.

Difficulty
This game is puzzling,and requires a lot of trial and error,this is wear most of the game time
comes in.It gets and 8 from me.

Overrall this game is really fun,it's aged quite a bit but,i still love coming back to it sometimes.
Atleast play it once,maybe you'll continue,maybe you won't.
