Episode 110
Beyond Shadowgate is the first sequel to the original Shadowgate Macventure game that was popular on both the NES, and Macintosh computer. As an exclusive game for the Turbo Grafx CD, this sequel wasn't played by nearly as many people, which is too bad, considering how awesome it is!
So how did the sequel to one of the most popular NES adventure games end up on the Turbo Grafx CD of all places? And what happened to the Macintosh original that was never released? In today's episode we'll find out, then we'll dove deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
* Where to find and use EVERY item!
* How to access EVERY room!
* Every crazy way Prince Erik can die, so you'll know what NOT to do!
* Where to find ALL 7 Pieces of Gold!
* Which items are important to buy, and which ones you can skip!
* How to get ALL 3 good endings, plus one bad one!
* The SECRET SHORTCUT ROUTE that will let you beat the game in less than 15 minutes... AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

This is one of my favorite gaming channels for real. It's so original, like nobody else does gaming content in this style. It's just all really well done
I watch a lot of retro content and have for a decade and this is the kind of pick that NOBODY would make that helps keep this channel high quality.
I’ll usually pop on an old episode for white noise while I’m doing chores around the house, or working on a project or what have you. Very calming.
What if I told you....
I feel the exact same way as you do lol
Yeah, UCBVG is like a longplay with more commentary, but he never does sudden laughs or yells, and he keeps the audio well balanced so it's perfect for falling asleep to. He found a great niche.
@@Other_Kev yeah and he doesn’t feel obligated to have a wacky gimmick, or to try to shoehorn in excessive jokes. Less is more
This channel is so much more than a walkthrough. Good job friend
HELL YEAH INFESTED! Played through it years ago. Grahfmetal did an awesome job.
Man, Shadowgate on NES was one of my favorite games growing up, and I remember playing the GBC release so many times I was practically a speedrunner of it. Yet I still had NO idea that the 2023 Beyond Shadowgate Kickstarter had even begun. Thanks to this video, I was able to back it! Hopefully, I'll be seeing my name in the credits along with a ton of other fans before too much longer.
I love when we get to see behind the scenes and hear from original designers of great games! A big thank you to Dave Marsh for taking the time to talk to us and share his experience with the making of these games! And thank you for sharing the news of the new Shadowgate sequel! I'm looking forward to it's release! And as always, thank you for the great video and stay safe out there!
Thanks for pulling out the stops to bring us this gem. I had no idea this game even existed, and that an official sequel to Shadowgate prior to Shadowgate VR was made. I also appreciate cluing us in on the Beyond Shadowgate 2023 kickstarter, and I really hope that game is good. If it is, I'll probably look into the rest of their MacVenture-styled titles.
Who else is excited for the new shadow gate coming?? I hope everyone backs the Kickstarter!!
Me too for sure.
Can we beat.."Infested" and "Spectacle"?
Definitely 👍
Prob a scam
@@EnjoySackLunch It’s Kickstarted by the original team. The ones that legitimately Kick Started and delivered the Shadowgate Remake. And they reached their goal for this one in 4 hours
Old lady killing Eric by telling him stories nonstop in this game is one of the funniest death sequences in video game history, imo! 🤣🤣🤣 It is #1 in my book…. Too bad for me that I probably won’t be able to play this game…..
Another game I have never played but I’m so excited to watch! I love your weekly videos!
Came here to say the same!
@@mattschiavone3435 ALLLLRIIIGHT!
Its cause this game sucks..
The hand-drawn animations are amazing. Especially all the death animations (both the hero's and the villians). You get the graphic death text descriptions from the original Shadowgate in actual animated form in this game. An amazing sequel to a classic game that sadly many of us missed.
I wasn't sure about this game until I got sawed in half, and eaten by a mushroom - Couldn't help but be curious about what else was in store for the hero!
Oh wow! The team doing the first person redesign of Beyond seems to have a real love for this project, I definitely had to get in and support this, this is going to be an awesome blast to the macventure past when they get this done! Thanks for shouting them out and all the amazing content you provide to this day.
2 days in, goal already filled. it's good to see people still care about classic games
I remember my cousin brought Shadowgate for the original Nintendo from Singapore where he lived © 1989... blew my mind.
Oh man, I used to LOVE this game back in the day! Thanks for sharing as always, and rock on! Watching this brings me back!
Thank you for these very detailed videos. I used your Shadowgate guide a lot when porting the game to the C64.
Hey, UCBVG! Huge fan of your videos! Thanks so much for your playthrough of TG16 Beyond Shadowgate and bringing further attention to the Beyond Shadowgate Kickstarter! Can't wait to see their vision for the game! My friend introduced me to Beyond Shadowgate and your video spurred me to check even further into the game and see what else may be within it. My friend and I updated their walkthrough on GameFAQs with what we've found, which was plenty of cut content, a couple of cut rooms, as well as a chunk of cut items, and, most importantly, a never before seen death which can be seen IN the game! We're currently documenting what we can within the game and can't wait to share it with the fans! Thanks again for playing this gem!
EDIT: The information is up on The Cutting Room Floor now as well as a video within my channel. GameFAQs has approved the updated walkthrough! Version 3.0 is now available! The walkthrough has a complete script of all voice acted content as well, as I've seen several comments on this video mention the low audio of the in-game voice-overs. Since subtitles don't exist, the game script may help there.
I woke up 20 minutes ago, what great timing IMO! Time for my version of Monday Morning cartoons with some UCBVG goodness. This time with something I've never heard of. This is gonna be a treat!!! 😁
EDIT: Those confused, I'm in Australia and it's 5:30am. Hello from the future thanks to Timezones. :D
Lol....I was kinda hoping you had mastered time travel...and Australia, much like in Shadowgate everywhere you turn something will kill you...🤣🤣🤣
@@seanlepley1474 Hahahahaha! This gave me a good laugh. XD
@@maysintv9168 no worries, humor is my gift to the world 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The troll scene makes me sad. Hopefully the pricne came back and gave him some stuff as a belated toll and an apology gift.
Yeah, after the video, I decided I'm going to give him the paddle ball every time now.
Your commentary is amazing! The perfect blend of sarcasm, seriousness, jokes and just the most amazing way of delivering information that makes it stick in your head! So well done! I have never liked a video game walkthrough channel more in my life!!!
Also… just backed the Beyond Shadowgate Kickstarter.
14 days left! Don’t sleep on this! Support independent creators making our dreams come true!
Could you imagine how different our lives would be if we’d gotten beyond shadowgate as originally intended? Okay, maybe not not that different, but it would have been cool to have another addition to the Macventure series.
Lol relax
@@EnjoySackLunch *takes deep breath* okay I’ll……I’ll try.
I actually think this game looks better. It reminds me of one of my favorite games called The Missing but with point and click adventure elements. If I had played this when it came out it would have been one of my favorite games.
I'm backing the new Beyond Shadowgate Kickstarter!
Thanks much for this. Well, this and all of your other content too. This one is particularly enjoyable and entertaining to simply watch. More like an let's play than a walkthrough. "Point and click" adventure games are usually fun to watch. You and this one make it quite good. Thanks
When I was young I had a babysitter who's kid worked for NEC and had a ton of Turbo Graphics hue cards. Anyways, thanks for the video; I love Shadowgate and the other MacVenture games on the NES and now I have to back Beyond Shadowgate.

-UCBVG, 2023
Cool to see you covering TurboGrafx games.
By far in my top 5 favorite UA-cam channels! Thanks for the great content and for pushing the limits on your research sections. I learn something new in every video!
Good morning UCBV
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and great work on making guides and tips on how to beat notorious video games! Well done!
I loved the throwback to Fraggle Rock! This is why I love your channel listening to you beat video games, you know all the right things to say to get a chuckle out of us!
Wow. Did NOT expect this after your 3-parter on Dragon Warrior 3. Never knew about this game; then again, I never knew there was a TG CD at all (I knew about the TG16, that was it).
Nicely done.
Thank you!
Very excited to experience my first new UCBVG video since becoming a subscriber. And as a Shadowgate fan who never experienced this, I am super stoked to watch and enjoy!
Very cool. You have this uncanny ability to make every game that you cover seem very interesting and get me hooked on them. Great stuff, UCBVG. Since you're doing TurboGrafX games, I can't wait to see you do Bonk's Adventure some day. I absolutely love that series! Real hidden gems there.
I get so happy whenever programmers get in touch and make an appearance in the episodes! Great job as always, my man. I really loved the Dragon Quest 3 guide!
Absolutely love your work man. Love the games you pick as well. Thank you. You've provided me with days of entertainment, tons of new knowledge, and more than 1 trip down memory lane. Hope you go viral and make millions.
IIRC this game makes use of the system medium-high resolution mode (352x224) to cram in all the detail possible for the hand-painted backgrounds and artwork. You can also tell they used a primitive quantizer to calculate the palettes for the background tiles.
I’ve watched every single one of your videos and love your work, sir. Bought the shirt, supported your channel, everything. And I gotta say. This Beyond Shadowgate is one of your funniest videos. Not just because of the game’s humour, but mainly yours. Hats off, man. Loving it. And all the while showing me how to beat the game too.
I love the way you break everything down. I vividly remember playing this game for months and never beating it. It was cool to see it finished as well as see everything I missed
Another amazing, impressive and exhaustive guide!
Personally, I love the red demon in the front of the castle. He looks like mix between giant (GIANT) ocelot cat and long eared bat (head). Maybe if you would give him good belly rubs or scritches behind ears, he would let you inside the castle.
Another very, very excellent let's play and discussion. Never gets old listening to those history recaps before the actual gameplay. You found your style and niche, my man
Love your interviews for this one! Very cool to see!
My mind is blown! Took a break from my studies and this popped in my feed .
Can't believe this !
That American Beauty reference with the bag was top notch! 🤣
Imo best narrator for video games ever! Thanks for all the vids! 👍
Oh wauw, great video, love your channel 🎉
I remember hearing about this one but I never saw it in person. I loved your Shadowgate video! I played it a lot.
Holy crap! I didn’t see this one coming!! I can’t wait to watch this!
Great addition to the channel. I was a big fan of the Actraiser remake and look forward to more shadowgate!
I've only recently discovered this channel. Love your walkthroughs and deadpan humor.
This is so good. You are very talented, dig the vibe!
I guess the Warlock Lord found the Paddle-Ball more entertaining in the end than conquering the world.... Have to say that Prince Erik is one tough character, he just punches monsters to death. Also the old lady and the photo book has to be one of the most hilarious deaths ive come across in games.
I really enjoy your videos. I don't watch how to beat them, but your history is just great. Plus you show me games (like this) that I never knew existed. Thanks and keep it up!
13:25 Your dogs are so adorable! Look at those big smiles! 🥰🐾🐾
Didn't think anyone but me remembered this one! A very niche but great game.
This is an obscure retro pixel art masterpiece! Thank you for uncovering and displaying this gem. If I knew this game existed at the time, I would have bought the Turbo Grafx CD just to play this game. 😄
1:05:24 too funny, the first time I heard the mystic say “I am a mystic” I thought to myself, “I am a knight who says Ni”
ha ha, it wasn't just me!
I didn’t know there was a second game. Thanks for this kind tubber.
I never would have enjoyed this game without seeing you play it. Thank you. I was big on quest for glory early in life. This feels alot like that. Lizard men!
Came here for the playthrough of a game I hadn't seen related to one I loved as a kid, found out about a sequel that never saw the light of day and a kickstarter to make it real? That's a heck of a twist. I'm so hyped to see what the team manages to come up with from those original design documents, it sounds amazing from the way you described it.
I got a MiSTer a few months ago and have been pairing this channel a lot with some games I've always meant to beat. Got through Zelda 2 and blaster master finally. Thanks!!
I'm glad I finally got around to watching this. I had no idea bout the Kickstarter, but I was able to get in with 37 hours remaining, not that they needed my help to reach their goal. Super pumped now!
Another game I heard of but never got to play! Cool stuff, man. Thanks for the vid! :)
Never heard of this game, but I just love the history that you share, and you contact the writers, editors etc! Good job!
Thank you!
Solid animation and music. What a quirky game. Loved this video, was sad it ended.
OMG I am so excited to watch this I'm about to be heading home from vacation and can't wait to see this! I'm sure you will have my favorite ending lol thank you!
Oh yeah stop kink shaming lol #closedleathershop
So awesome. Thank you UCBV
It's neat that you're doing a game that wann't released on the NES. Don't get me wrong, I love NES games, but it's cool to see you diversify your console portfoleo. Keep up these wonderful guides. You allow a blind person to understand what's going on in these graphical games. Lovely!
I noticed the little controller detail change in the intro! I don’t like these types of games, but you just make everything interesting so I have to watch. Well done as always!
Very nice. I had no idea this game existed. I can tell you’re into the feudal fantasy games. Astyanax is a good short game to cover. Keep it up.
Wow how nice to end the 100th game on Dragon Warrior III 12 days ago. Only to start the the 1st game of the next 100 on a game that is to commemorate the 35th anniversary of this series, a game that was never released in its original format to boot.
A nice way to start your next 100 with a classic series, and to give the people thier shine on what's to come when this game is released.
Crazy start to your next 100 games UCBVG 👍🥳🎉😀
Like, there's a whole gd documentary included with a Longplay with full commentary. Like, are you human? How do you even make all this content, I'm blown away.
UCBVG (at the conclusion of the DW3 videos): "I'm going to take a break and go back to some shorter games."
Proceeds to put out almost a 3 hour video one week later.
Great job and love having new videos to watch!
Man i need more point and click adventure walkthroughs like this, its all no commentary stuff or speedruns.
I was so excited to see beyond shadowgate being remade on kickstarter. I instantly bought the board game that just came out not too long ago, but I went all in on the kickstarter project and I can't wait to play it
Very sorry we missed this 1 in America. Graphics look amazing!!!! Hats off to this channel for covering a game so obscure. Used to play all the Sierra games back in 2000 so am a huge fan of this genre
It looks like a terrible shadowgate game, it would have been a great adventure game if it was called something else
Your editing, sound, voice, everything, are awesome. You won me. +1 subs.
Best part of the weekend is here
Never even heard of this game but I know UCBV is going to make this video worth my while.
The deliberately slow dictation isn't my favorite thing, but I absolutely love the idea you have going here, and honestly these videos are perfect for background, nighttime viewing. Keep doing your thing my dude!
Holy crap I thought you said you were gonna do a short video after DW3, this is an awesome surprise!!
30:55 Dan Hibiki finally freed from low-tier jail in Street Fighter 5 (2021)
Thanks for playing this. I played Shadowgate on the Nes before internet "for me" and videogame hint books was out. It was a game I loved enough to pay 99 cents a minute to use a slow dial tone menu for hints. The bridge, the dragon and the wand near the end stumped me enough to spend around 30 bucks in 80's phone bill money to beat the game. I never used any hint lines after that game. :)
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for telling me about Kickstarter! I went immediately and pledge to it! I can't wait for the game!
I had no idea this game or its console even existed. This is awesome
Awwww yeah I missed the upload this morning because I was driving buses today but I'm done and it's now time for UCBVG as I drive home and shop and eat dinner
YEEEEEEEAH
Thanks much for this. Well, this and all of your other content too. This. D
THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THE SHADOWGATE SEQUEL KICKSTARTER!!!
Thanks for the great content! Please consider doing quest for glory series !
Didn't know about the kickstarter. I'm excited
Damn this channel goin above and beyond dude ur awesome
Just a fantastic video. I never heard of this game, but really enjoyed watching this play though!
I keep learning about new and interesting games. I need stuff for my Turbo Duo, so this is sweet!
Never got a chance to play this game I'm glad you did this thank you
i am so unaware of the Turbo Grafx that until you mentioned it in the NES Shadowgate video i had literally never heard of it..
Shadowgate on the NES was the first video game I ever beat without using cheats or strategy guides or anything. It was also probably the game that got me into adventure/RPG style games. I always thought it looked really boring; you're just looking at pictures and reading stuff the whole time; but a friend of mine talked me into trying it and I was hooked.
I remember having all kinds of crazy dreams about the behemoth and the warlock lord. Good memories :)
I've never heard of this game, but it is really cool.
The graphics remindes me to the King's Quest games, but it is way more dynamic with the movement of the character.
Also thank you very much for the clips with the developer and the autor. It was very interesting.
Great video
U are amazingly prolific..🔥THNX!
awsome job. i swerar your channel gets more and more awsome everyday. i always wanted to play and see the orignal sequal as well
This is such a creative and interesting game. Its well designed, the creatures look inspired and it isnt a typical copy paste fantasy. I never heard of this. You have likely saved a game many would not have heard of and could not find a copy of. You are like a gaming indiana Jones.
