Forgotten oldies: Death Gate

[f2a]

AD 2022 and this game is still as playable and enjoyable as it was in 1994.

I invite folks to give it a try — and that try to last more than 15 minutes, unfortunately the weakest part of the game is the slightly wordy introduction. I don’t think I can say there is an adventure game with more logical puzzles.

Maaaaan, I love those games. This and Legends of Shannara. Still remember the sacrfices made in Shannara

Legend adventure games, even decline ones like Death Gate and Shannara, were very good. Gateway-era is probably my favourite (killer MT32 soundtracks, too)

It's funny how some of these old games still look better than some of the stuff released now.

Remember the end of Death Gate where you turn the body of your dead master into a zombie? Yeah, that was great.

I found a really good site for these a few months ago. There's a good 60 or so old adventures, many I haven't played or even knew about with an installer for each where they just work out of the box. As a result, I played through Death's Gate about a month or two before this thread which I loved the books at the time but never knew there was a game. It was quite close to the books as well as I was able to get through it with the memory of the plot lines.

Anyone interested in this game will appreciate it:
