A great soundtrack from an NES game that seems to be a bit less well-known today. It's amazing how effective and well-composed this music is especially considering the limitations of hardware at the time. I'd love to know who the composer was and what else they may have worked on.
Shadowgate is a genuine gaming classic that can still garner as much wow-factor/appreciation now as it did when it first came out. The game's strong points aren't it's graphics (still nice for the time) or the gadget compatibility (non-existent, rather it is the atmosphere (far better than most modern games can manage) and the music (unforgettable, unparalleled).
I'd heartily recommend that those who haven't played it yet get either the nes,gbc or wii-ware version and be blown away by this beautiful game.
Those who don't care for games much should still enjoy the soundtrack, you won't be disappointed.

This game used to scare the heck out of me when I was younger and my older brother would play it. Just listening to the music now still brings back frightful but awesome feelings. I agree this game should be more well-known, having excellent music and an exciting story.
