<![CDATA[Shadowgate]]>Has anyone played the NES Game Shadowgate? It is really simular to Knightmare on many levels.

Firstly it is set in a Knightmare style Castle, with all kind of scary creatures.

The puzzles are also simular to Knightmare, yuou got to pick up objects and use them (you can carry as much as you like)

There are also many traps that you can fall into too.

The game also features a simular life force type thing as in Knightmare, only instead of food, you need to keep your touch lit, and if that goes out you will die,  you have to collect more touches to stay alive, also if you make one mistake, it could kill you (just like on the earlier version of Knightmare)

Shadowgate is a highly enjoyable game!  ;D

But then maybe I'm just thick.) Hundreds of instant deaths as well. It reminded me of a Fighting Fantasy gamebook, really.

It took me ages to get through the door at the very start!
