Hi Shawn, You might have wanted to put up a spoil alert or something for those who play the game, and didn't want to be given hints.
That is the spoil alert for everyone reading this now in fact. If you are playing the shadow gate game and don't want hints, do not read further... Shawn, those things you mentioned were not bugs in the usual sense. There is several degrees of seperation between an atari port of a visually played nes game, and the audio version of the same game on a diffrent platform in an accessible format. There will be diffrences, and this isn't all that unusual. In the sighted world, especially with side scroller games or action games diffrent content will be snuck in for diffrent systems to keep the game fresh and to give incentive to buy the game for those diffrent consoles. For this game, I don't know. Nina might have omitted things out of forgetfulness, or it might have existed in the same way as on the atari port. Either way, those things you mentioned are not bugs. Secondly, the rope does do as you say, but you have to be a little more clever then the atari walkthru to figure it out. Use that sharp mind of yours and check out everything around you, and in your inventory, and you should be able to solve the puzzle. As for the use and select menu choices...ironically I mentioned the same exact thing to Ian a while back. I guess, for the time being, the best way to remember which does what is to think of "use" as useing it on yourself, or useing something like an unlocked door, or a bridge or even a staircase. "Select" is usually done when you want to use an item on some element in a room, like a pool, or a monster, or you want to use an item on another item, like a burning torch on an unlit torch. Lastly, yeah, the music is retro. I think it is quaint and takes me back to the nineties, lol. There is actually some shadow gate music called overclocked where people take old video game music and rock out with it, or turn it into disco, lol. http://ocremix.org/ al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. ----- Original Message ----- From: shaun everiss To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Monday, March 11, 2013 1:40 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Brief Description of Shadow Gate --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
