'''''Shadowgate''''' is a [[point-and-click game|point-and-click]] [[adventure game]] developed by [[ICOM Simulations]] and published in 1987 for the [[Macintosh]] as part of the [[MacVenture]] series. The game takes place in the Castle Shadowgate, residence of the evil Warlock Lord. The player, as the "last of a great line of hero-kings", is tasked with saving the world by defeating the Warlock Lord, who is attempting to summon the demon Behemoth out of Hell. The original Macintosh version was only in black-and-white, but color versions of the game were later released for the [[Amiga]] and [[Atari ST]], and in 1989 for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. The game was generally well-received, and was followed by several sequels and remakes for various systems.
