Hey! Great podcast! My company 317 Games worked with Zojoi (Dave Marsh, creator of Shadowgate) to create a Shadowgate board game based on the 2014 remake. (2-4 Player adventure game) (We also have an 8-bit version in the works). And I also work with the team creating the NES Shadowgate sequel coming out soon, ‘Beyond Shadowgate!’ (Not the Turbo Duo, but a true successor to the NES version). Zojoi is working with Grahfmetal games to create it. It’s a GREAT sequel, and there is a demo available on the Beyond Shadowgate Discord and Kickstarter page. (Which got funded in a day!)
