8-Bit Adventures Anthology: Volume 1 (PC) Review



This has been a set of games I have been looking forward to playing for a good long while. After all, the collection includes both the first game I ever completed (and my first taste for horror gaming ever) and a second horror title I would have been all over had I known it even existed in my younger years. Add to this nostalgia blast that the OG development team finally got to make a direct sequel to their most famous game in the collections and there no way I couldn't play this set... so was it worth a visit down memory land and what might have been? OH.... oh yes it was....

Now please note that since this is a game collection, each game will get it's own review with a shared overall and bugs section. If you want to zero in on just one, please select the game from the list below.

Shadowgate: MacVenture Series (PC) Review

https://redsectorshutdown.blogspot.com/2019/02/shadowgate-macventure-series-pc-review.html

Now here's a game I have a lot of history with. I couldn't have been any older then 8 years old when I saw a guide and maps to to start you off in Nintendo Power, and I don't think I poured over any magazine page as much as this. And by my next birthday, my parents came through and I had a new game to play. I absolutely loved every moment of my adventures. So when I found out that getting the 2014 remake at launch included this version as a bonus, I was definitely interested in giving it a shot. After all, this is where the NES version got all its awesomeness!

And while that may be true, it did not come without some very rough edges the NES version spared me of back in the day.
