Looking for games like Shadowgate 64...

[Opa Opa]

I'm looking for more 1st-person Adventure games like Shadowgate 64.

After surfing the world wide web for about 15 minutes I found the Echo Night games. Those look alright I guess. I'm looking for more of a fantasy/medieval type game.

Does anyone have suggestions they'd like to share? Any system is fine.

And, yes, I've played Shadowgate 1.

Thanks.

You might like Arx Fatalis, it has a similar look, but with better graphics. It's more RPG than adventure, but worth a shot.

As for first person adventure games, I recommend Amnesia: The Dark Descent and the Penumbra series. These are all scary, which might not fit what you are looking for.

You could also try the classic Myst series. That would seem to fit the bill pretty closely.

If you get in the mood for some futuristic detective adventuring in the first person, then you might want to also try Tex Murphy: Under A Killing Moon, or Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive.

OOH! And The Last Express is really cool and unique! Check that out.


Most of these can be found at gog.com

Also on the NES, you usually hear Deja Vu and The Univited mentioned any time someone says Shadowgate. They are all the same kind of game.

I downloaded a Penumbra demo. It's alright. Not really what I'm after.

I'll look up some of those others. Thanks for the suggestions.

I looked up Shadowgate 64 on youtube and wow... it looks pretty ahead of its time for that console.

I can second Arx Fatalis, even though I haven't played it myself, I've seen a lot of vids and know it's a spiritual successor to the Ultima Underworld games. They were a big influence for games like Deus Ex, System Shock, etc, FPS's with a bit more to them than just shooting and whatnot. Arx Fatalis is on GOG, I guess I'll be interested to hear what you think if you hit that one up.

Got Arx Fatalis. Liking it so far. I'll post more thoughts later.
