Games Similar to Deja Vu and Shadowgate?

[tubeway]

I loved Shadowgate and Deja Vu (the former I played on NES, the latter on Mac), and was wondering if you kind folks would recommend me some similar titles. Preferrably on console systems, but I'd also pick up some PC ones. Thanks!

Shadowgate had a sequel released for the N64, if I recall correctly.

Uninvited is the most like those two. Definitely get that one. Also, Nightshade is similar in that there's lots of puzzles to solve. It's in third person perspective and not first tho. It's also pretty humorous. Same goes for Maniac Mansion. Finally, if you don't mind a light-hearted romp, check out Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom. Same first person perspective, puzzle solving adventure, just decidedly cuter.

If you haven't already, I'd say check out any/all of the LucasArts point & click games... like Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, the Monkey Island series, Sam & Max, Full Throttle, etc. They're not exactly like Shadowgate, but the exploration and puzzle solving are there.

And, of course, there's Myst and it's sequels.

Deja Vu had a sequel, Deja Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas.

I really like adventure games. I can't really think of any other first-person adventure games that haven't already been mentioned(I haven't really played many first-person games). I'll just provide several lists, maybe they'll be helpful. I mostly played the classic LucasArts games, I still have a bunch of others that I haven't played through yet.

It also had a sequel for Turbo CD, Beyond Shadowgate.

You are correct Sir.



I've got a copy, but have never played it. I just checked and IGN gave it a 6.2/10. Flyingomelette gave it a 2.5/5, but while I read the review I remembered that I did play it for an afternoon. It was boring and the graphics were terrible. Get Beyond Shadowgate instead.
