Beyond Shadowgate - Worth my time?
« on: November 28, 2007, 04:55:25 PM »
A friend of mine is offering to sell me Beyond Shadowgate, which is a game for the TurboGrafx-16 CD-ROM Entertainment Supersystem (which itself is a videogame system released in the US by NEC).  I know next to nothing about this game?  Crap or awesome?  Is it Ultr@ r@re?

Take a look at my thread from this past summer where you can see mine, and several other's opinions on this game:

Well if he knows next to nothing about the value of the game, then yes try to lowball him as much as possible!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I think it is boring. Kind of like those Lucas Arts adventure games that everybody loves (except me).

No.
Aww shucks. I was going to post lord_cack's old graphic edit that showed the main character's wang, but the pictures aren't up anymore :( .

Beyond Shadowgate is better than ANY Sega CD game ever made!


So Joe would probably love it!

I HIGHLY doubt that it is better than Slam City starring Scotty Pippen.
