Aaron takes a look back at the classic point-and-click adventure game SHADOWGATE, part of the MacVenture series that was ported to the NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM in 1998. Thank you for watching Friday Night Arcade!

NOTE FROM AARON
"I hope you enjoy this new video. Shadowgate is one of my all time favorite point-and-click adventure games on the Nintendo Entertainment System although the story I tell in the video is 100% true. When I first bought the game, I couldn't figure out where to find the key at the front of the castle and the game ended up on my shelf for several weeks before loaning it to a friend. My friend found the key in one night and gave the game back to me. Then I ended up finding my way through the rest of the castle and defeating the game legit. Cut me some slack, I was like 9 years old when this came out lol. I loved the adventure aspects of this game though and it felt like playing a PC game on my NES console which made for a truly unique experience.

I ended up buying Deja Vu and Uninvited on NES as well, the follow up games and spiritual successors in the Macventure Series to Shadowgate (although they were released in opposite order originally on computer). Loved those games as well and at some point if this video does well, I will consider doing a follow up sequel to this video about the other games in the Macventure Series.

Thanks for watching everybody and we will see you next time on Friday Night Arcade!"
