Shadowgate for the PC?

[aaron7]

A while back (about 1993 lol) I saw that Shadowgate (the NES game) was ported to the PC, in a Windows-based program.

Well, did anyone ever get it? Anyone know where I can get a copy? I'd love to play it!!

Shadowgate was on DOS PC before the NES port but the version I believe you're talking about is for Windows 3.1. I don't know where to find it though or how you get 3.1 games to run on modern PCs.

It was DOS? Any idea where I could get it to play?

[NeoZeedeater]

No, the DOS version is older. The Windows 3.1 game you probably saw is a remake.

I see both the DOS and Windows versions right now in #oldgames on efnet.. look pretty small.

If you want to play old DOS games you can use a DOS emulator called DOSbox.

I've only tried it for the DOS based music tracker Fast Tracker 2. Too bad it sux for it, a 0.1 sec delay on the sound :( Yes, this have much to say when you track. Its like watching a movie thats out of sync.

DOSbox should be ok to play games with i guess :)

The DOS and Windows version of the game are on #oldgames (IRC room) on EFNet (IRC server), both are small files.

Ok, but I have no idea how to use IRC stuff!

just go to www.the-underdogs.org to download the game, be warned though, the site is usually trustworthy but i recently got an unwanted download from them, you should use firefox to visit the site

You meant to say that you should use JavaCool's Spyware Blaster and Kolla's SpyBot Search & Destroy before visiting the site ;)
