Beyond shadowgate ?
« on: August 08, 2014, 04:09:05 PM »
got myself a turbo duo R :)
i really like the shadowgate series and noticed there's one on Turboduo.
I was very happy to see that until i saw the price !

surely some of you got the game already or tryed it.
i really love point and click genre so is this game worth it ?

Worth it alone for the death scenes....

I got an advanced burn back in the T.T.I. days and even caught a bug for them.

Excellent game, at least find an iso and enjoy it until you can score the real thing.

It's always hovering around my top 5 video games of all time,  and either my fav OBEY game or very close to the top!!

It's a terrific blend of creepiness from the original and gameplay similar to some SKUMM classics like Secret of Monkey Island or our very own OBEY classic- LOOM.

:D

Here's a great episode of Turbo Views that reviews the game.

I think it's pretty overrated, but worth playing through once.

I found it a bit frustrating to play but it's maybe the best looking game on the platform.  I don't think I'd ever pay the going rate for it, though.

GREAT Game, very reminiscent of my Kings Quest Days.

It's not worth what it's selling on eBay thanks to the big-spenders in terms of a quality game, I'll tell ya that... Some people here really love it though. Anyhow, I would go with the ISO rather than bow down to eBay price ranges for it... ;)

I really enjoyed Shadowgate on the NES and then playing it on the TG16 I really love the way they made it more interactive but still keeping the same feel of the NES game in tact. They even have a few throwbacks from the original game tossed in for fun... so yes, I think it's worth it.

aaah well. beyond shadowgate is quite expensive .. and im no good at burning stuff here. ill wait and see :) i might go for iso...unless i find a good deal somewhere here or in cities around.

Is there a good place that explain how to burn Turboduo/pc engine iso the good way ?? i think i recall hearing its not a good idea to do so

They say a burn wears the drive out faster, but I think the difference is negligible...

rule of thumb always burn slowly as possible.
