I’ll admit that I haven’t played a good deal of the “essential” adventure games out there, but for my money, Shadowgate is one of the greatest. To be honest, this game scared the crap out me and my friends back in time, and I would imagine that, even today, coming face to face with a vicious Wraith would do my heart no good.
If you remember how viciously intense this game was, then you’ll surely appreciate Virt’s brutal medley of its music!

Yes you will be going to hell, but to a special part where people who make mistakes regarding two things that are awesome go. Don’t beat yourself up about it though, it’s not like you confused Transformers with Go-bots. It’s more like you mistook Joe Shieh’s mother’s butthole for her vagina.
