Shadowgate Arrives on AppStore
Shadowgate was one of the most beloved point-and-click games when it launched in 1987. Now, almost 30 years later, it has returned! This time though via the Appstore! To be played on Mac, iPhone or iPad!
“Back in 1987 when we launched the original Shadowgate as part of the MacVenture series on the original Apple Macintosh, it’s almost serendipitous that we can bring our re-imagined project to challenge a whole new generation of adventure gamers,” states David Marsh, Co-founder at Zojoi. “When we designed the new Shadowgate, we definitely thought how perfect it would be to play this game on the iPad.”
