Shadowgate (PC/DOS) 1988, Mindscape, Icom

Shadowgate is a black-and-white 1987 point-and-click adventure video game originally for the Apple Macintosh in the MacVenture series. The game is named for its setting, Castle Shadowgate, residence of the evil Warlock Lord. The player, as the "last of a great line of hero-kings" is charged with the task of saving the world by defeating the Warlock Lord, who is attempting to summon up the demon Behemoth out of Hell. Later that year, a color version of the game was released for the Amiga and Atari ST, and in 1989 for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Sorry about noob blind mistakes, although i have seen the walkthrough on different platform before.

Wonderful to see a playthrough of this. In the future, though, you don't need to set every CGA game as composite -- this is an example of a game that was definitely designed for RGBI and *not* composite. (The repeating pattern of horizontal lines is the giveaway that the game uses 2x2 dot hatch patterns, which are not the patterns you use for composite output.)

Yes i perfectly know and in this i just wanted to test some crt/ composite filters (comp4 or some else 3rd party dos,cga composite converter cannot remember what) over the plain dull 4 color cga, apart from this i only played commodore or some win 3.11 version before, very hard game and i lost interest in halfway so this was not playthrough.

I used to call this color cga 320x200 monitor "super cga" lol. My neightbor had a super vga 1024×765 256 colors. I had a pc xt with a hercules green phosphorus I believe it was 640x480 or something like that

@@danielbspinola : A Hercules-Card was the best graphics-setup for a PC in the late 80s. High-Resolution and with a CGA-emulator you could also play games.
