I'll start by saying I LOVE Shadowgate.... That being said, it is nearly impossible to overlook the general lack of appropriate functionality in this version. Very disappointing.

Shadowgate is the third game in ICOM’s MacVenture series. The ahead-of-its-time graphical interface is exactly the same as the previous two games, but the gameplay is slightly more evolved. POSITIVES Similar to Infocom’s Enchanter Trilogy, this game has a more traditional (D&D-style) fantasy setting and incorporates relatively simple methods of learning and casting spells (that avoid the tediousness of having to laboriously type in commands to find, take, and view scrolls, and to record, memorize, and cast spells). NEGATIVES The only criticism I have for this game is the lack of easier-to-notice warnings that the burning torch is about to stop burning. The single text message and screen flash are frustratingly easy to miss, and without a lit torch, the game cannot be finished. Therefore, the only reliable solution to the expiring-torch problem is to depend on an excessive number of game saves. While this particular game-save dependency isn’t as bad as the first game in the series, it’s still rather tiresome when the game has to be repeatedly restarted every single time you neglect to notice the dying-torch warnings. RECOMMENDATIONS If you’re wanting to explore vintage (80s) adventure games, I highly recommend the middle two games in the MacVenture series (Uninvited and Shadowgate). The graphical user interface of these early-Mac games is unlike most other adventure games of the pre-CD-ROM era. But even if you don’t want to waste any time on old-fashioned games, you absolutely have to play the 2014 remake of Shadowgate. It’s not only a spectacular recreation of the original, it’s a truly great game in its own right.
Classic but hard as nails without cheating or looking up guides
Just like the other MacVenture games, it's a fun, retro point and click game with a god awful inventory system. If you think you can put up with that and like those kinds of games, then you'll like this.
classic game, just like i remember it. if you were a fan back then, I think you will enjoy this re-release.
Si te gustan los juegos retro, esta joya te va a encantar! Si es cierto como dicen otras reseñas que no es el juego original, si no una remasterizacion que trae sus contras respecto al original, pero no es injugable. De hecho llega a ser bastante disfrutable, a pesar de no llegar a las cotas de calidad del original. Super recomendado jugarlo si te gustan los juegos de este estilo.
