Shadowgate 64 - NES Demake

Rage Sigma

This NES/FC mockup from 2022 was planned to be finished in conjunction with the FT project involving an 8-bit rendition of the Village theme from Shadowgate 64, yet due to the sudden change of schedule as well as challenges being faced in reality, it came to a halt until recently this year.

Regarding this demake, it is simply an imagination of playing Shadowgate 64 except via the style of the NES Shadowgate. Because of the console's color limitation unless with the expansion implemented, it might not handle certain complex shades, so it will look much different from this mockup version.

In the actual N64 game, there's no dialogue for describing this particular area, which, according to the Map menu, is relevant to the Gatekeeper's Room, so I added the mockup dialogue to make sense with the style.

Item and Book tab are based on the N64 game's menu interface, while item names are obviously based on the NES version. Also, the menu color theme is based on the N64 installment.

Overall, I did enjoy working on this mockup. The N64 game itself is still underrated, yet it has a decent soundtrack.

Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers, the original NES Shadowgate, and their contents belong to their respectful owners.
