I wanted to shed some light on a little known game for the NES called Nightshade. I love playing this game still to this day. There isn't another game quite like it in the NES library. It's a fun adventure/puzzle/mystery game. It has a lot of variety to keep you interested. Keeps you on your toes thinking quickly. You never know when you will be put into a situation where you need to think quickly to escape a trap. The game has a great sense of humor with the dialogue as well.
It is a lot of fun and I highly recommend you check it out if you have some time to kill.

You are Nightshade, a self-proclaimed superhero who feels no need to have a flashy get-up (you look a bit like Dick Tracy), and one day, decide to take matters into your own hands when the corruption of Sutekh's madness on Metro City results in the death of local superhero Vortex. Sutekh, the main crime lord who resembles an ancient Egyptian, then decides there are no more heroes left, and quickly begins to take over Metro City. Well, this is where Nightshade decides to try and save the day!

Please post what you thought of the game after you play it!

Thanks for sharing this game. It sounds really cool; I want to try it out. I'll be sure to post here after I try it out.

No problem at all! I always like to share little known or forgotten retro gems.

It's like a combination of Deja Vu/Shadowgate and Maniac Mansion.
