I LOVED shadowgate. I can still hear the music.
My mom is not a gamer, but back in the early 90s, she loved Tetris... and Shadowgate.
She was obsessed with Shadowgate for a little while. I remember her beating it while the rest of the family clawed their faces off.
As I've gotten older I've come to realize that my favorite thing about my favorite video games was the music.
Edit- man, you ain't kidding. I confess, Cain's poat reminded me of the game, but it took a little googling to figure out what it was called. I couldn't recall the music, so I decided to listen to it on my way home from work. I found a youtube video of the game play. It's a little off putting at first but it really does get pretty cool after awhile. I hope I'm not just exploiting some sort of long form neurological feedback loop that just makes me think it's good music because it's a nearly forgotten childhood memory. Either way, A+ enjoyable time. Will def listen again
