An average but good old school RPG

Shadowgate is an average old rpg game that was released in 1987 with poor popularity. The game has a plot that is very average for an RPG game - you have to go to Castle Shadowgate and kill the Warlock Lord before he succeeds in summoning the old and powerful beast Behemoth, or the world is doomed. The gameplay is very simple - you are presented with a picture of a room and in the pannel bellow you are told what is happening in the room (like playing D'n'D and the DM is talking to you about the game) and you have options what to do - you can look, use,take, read and so on. The visuals are average for the time of release, but also very colorful and the art is great. Unfortunately the sound system is consisted of computer generated sounds that are not too pleasing to the ear. In the end we get a nice adventure rpg that has an interesting story and easy gameplay, but very average. Good for lovers of vintage gaming and rpg lovers looking for a good and easy game. For other older RPG's, try out Eye of the Beholder or Dark Sun: Shattered Lands.
