„This new console version builds upon the massively re-imagined PC version of the original Shadowgate and features a refined user interface and intuitive wheel-based icon command system. Original developer Zojoi painstakingly redesigned the game from the ground up, adding in tons of new mind-bending puzzles, lots of new rooms with stunning hand-painted 2D graphical detail, and more objects to interact with and help players along on their quest. Abstraction Games worked alongside Zojoi to not only offer technical assistance on reimagining the game for console but to also enhance the experience with new ideas and creative direction, ensuring Shadowgate feels just at home on console as it does on PC. Get ready brave adventurer, the castle awaits!

Der Titel wurde so oft neu aufgelegt, wie es Ports dafür gab. Ich glaub ich hab's mal auf dem GBA oder dem GBC gespielt... und natürlich irgendeine PC-Version. Weit bin ich nie gekommen, so wie's bei diesen alten Adventures üblich war
