I played all these as a kid. My grandma had Deja Vu, and we had Shadowgate at home. My older sister rented The Uninvited but I couldn’t play it because it scared me too much 😆 All those scary faces were too much for my 7 year old mind.
You weren’t weird; I LOVED playing these games too! I first played the MacVenture games on my Commodore Amiga 500 computer, but later I got them for the NES. I feel the NES versions were a bit easier to complete, compared to their home computer counterparts.
My absolute favorites. I got the pleasure of getting to play them on an original Mac, and the NES versions are just so, so good. Hours spent on each of these.
Ah, shadowgate, the game with the best 8bit music ever made, and the best screen transition, so good that the remake has an option to turn them on. it was a weird game for me and my brother, it was one of the first games to have us think outside the box (other than snake's revenge) and sadly, we only rented it and never finished it, many years later, more like decades later, i sat down and played it and finished it and felt great, it is a great game and one hell of a classic nes game that is truly an eternal piece of software.
I never got to play these way back when, but I hope that more of them end up going the Shadowgate route by getting updated versions. Maybe I can find some of these on Ebay or local game shop. Good to see that FNA videos are still coming. Looking forward to the new format. Happy Thanks giving to you and your family. Congrats on the new additions. Cheers, Aaron!
I finally took the plunge and purchased the collection on Steam. I've been having so much fun with it! Thank you for helping to keep these games alive!
I’ve never heard the term “MacVenture”, but I remember my older brother buying DejaVu when I was about 7 or 8. I hated that game. I was too young. So glad to hear about your healthy babies! My brother has twins. So much fun. My cousin has triplets! Imagine being in their shoes!
The pc cover of Deja vu is a lot more atmospheric, but it also looks like the developers took a bunch of stuff they had lying around , and put it on a table for a "noire" feel.
I can talk macventure whenever. My cousin had uninvited on mac and I constantly rented Shadowgate and Deja Vu on nes. Actually Deja Vu is my most rented game ever.
All of them showed up on the NES except deja vu 2, however, the game boy color would receive a deja vu compilation that included it. I remember being a kid and seeing screenshots of the various NES titles in the series and thinking they all had to be from the same game because of how many menu assets and art design similarities they shared, so I had this vision of this weird detective series with ghosts and monsters.
Deja Vu and Shadowgate were top ten favorites for me. Many summer days spent with them. Deja Vu wins between the two for me. I loved games with "real world environments." I was transported right out of my hot little North Carolina apartment to 1940s Chicago with that one. Seriously. It was GTA V real for me. 😄 I was unable to find/play Uninvited til a bit later, and o really like it too...but it doesn't have the cozy nostalgia of the other two.
Thanks again for doing this. I commented on some of your single reviews for these games. I still love em! Again I truly appreciate you covering these 3 amazing NES games. Thank you again for that! :D Also there a game on the Eshop at the time of this post called Swordbreaker The Game. Its more of a interactive deciding what to do next, but it has multiple choices leading to different endings as you read what happens next to some amazing visuals. But be careful you only have 3 lives per adventure and if you lose all of your lives its game over and you have to start all over. However it keeps track of your progress of the rooms you've venture through per adventure if your curious to see what also happens. Lots of trial and error. It truly feels like a Shadowgate game minus the point and clicking items. Check it out if you've never had the chance play it. Its an awesome game! :D Thanks again for your time.
Thanks. I was going to get an episode out this week but had a pipe burst in the basement right over my wife's home office area. Been dealing with that mess all week... adult problems suck lol. Happy New Year man.
I could never finish any of these because I'm awful at point and click adventures, but I still loved these! Especially the frequent, hilarious deaths in Shadowgate
Seeing a Friday Night Arcade video with "MacVentures" in the title is second only to seeing one with "Quest" in the title :) Even if this is just a compilation video, it's always worth a rewatch since you're such a fan of these old point 'n click titles. Congrats on having healthy twins and everything's all a-okay on your end. Glad to hear you have lots of ideas for videos, and I think it's totally understandable if life stuff takes priority - taking care of twins seems crazy right now, lol. It's always a pleasure whenever FNA uploads, so the vids are always worth the wait! I also just kinda assume you may be tackling some new adventure games after that Space Quest 3 redux video. I mean, now that you found that 3D remake, and I feel like everyone dug it quite a bit, I dunno.... it just seems like you'll be able to expand the breadth of "Quest related" adventure games you show off in the future as long as viewers enjoy it. I mean, I bet people would like to see what you think of more fan homages, whether they're unfinished stuff like that 3D Space Quest demo or a full blown game like Heroine's Quest or The Silver Lining. Heck, considering you're such a fan of MacVentures, I'm sure you'll get to reviewing something like Infested someday too (and if you haven't seen that: grahfmetal.itch.io/infested ) or Spectacle (grahfmetal.itch.io/spectacle ). Y'know, like how you did that From Beyond: Prologue video. So take your time; prioritize your family and get vids out whenever you can. As long as the quality is still high, we'll all be happy :D
I loved Shadowgate as a kid. It especially took me a long time to figure out how to find the holy water to kill the hellhound and get to the balcony with the wyvern. I got to play the other two games when they got released on Ps4 as a 3 game collection, and didn't love them as much as Shadowgate but I really like them all the same. I never played Lost in Los Vegas yet but I will get to it someday.
'Uninvited' was the game that introduced me to the Macintosh, and the use of a GUI, and a mouse... It was also a somewhat refreshing change to not have to worry about mistyping a command in other text-based adventure games... Come to think about it, I remember that at least on the Mac version, if you completed the game, you could then print out a personalized certificate of completion... (Same goes for the other 'MacVenture' games...). It's a shame that these games never got ported to the modern Mac OS (although, technically, they can still be played through an emulator, like mini vmac, provided you can find the original disc images).
I remember I was stuck on this game cuz I didn't think to look in the trash for the capsules. So I actually bought the hint book that they sold in the back of the instruction booklet. I think it was like $19.95 and took like 4-6 weeks to be delivered. That was the only time I spent money on a strategy guide for a Nintendo game.
Your channel is awesome man,your story about shadow gate is very similar ,I put it in the shelf for a while, but eventually finished it,I was around same age to,good luck with your family
This is like a cyber version of escape rooms. Some clues...find a key or some object to go forward ...with the exception of you battling monsters after you find the right object for the clues to be solved.
I’m a twin. My “younger” brother is 20 min younger. He’s my best friend and we’re in our 40’s now and still drive our wives crazy when we get together! I wouldn’t say we have our own language, but no one but us usually knows what we’re laughing hysterically about most of the time. Hope your twin boys get along as well as we did. Love your channel!
I bought shadowgate thinking it was like wizardry or bard's tale since there were no nes games like that at the time. I was so pissed to find out it was a point and click game but eventually I ended up liking it. Took me forever to win it since I had to find out how to get past a few spots from friends.
I've recently been playing the Swedish versions of Shadowgate and Deja Vu to learn the language a bit. I played Shadowgate years ago so I can pick up on some meanings of words, but a Norwegian friend of mine helps me out quite a bit when he watches me play Deja Vu. :)
Congratulations! Also, I think going with several games in the same video is a good idea, those are always the videos I find the most interesting and it seems like they get the most views and likes too.
Thank you! And yeah... I try not to focus too much on "view count" and stats, but the fact is those videos always just seem to do better. If I make a video about one interesting game that nobody has heard of, people seem to pass it by, but if I include that same interesting game in a longer themed video along with a bunch of other games, then more people can hopefully find out about it. Plus if I've only got a limited amount of time to make videos due to the family, it just makes more sense to try to focus on the videos that the most people are interested in.
@@FridayNightArcade I don't think having the performance of videos in mind is necessarily a bad ting, especially when you've got as much on your plate as you have. Doing re-runs (except when making a statement such as this instance) and pumping out reaction videos might be a liiittle on the rough side of things, but that's pretty far removed. Also, Shadowgate for the NES was actually localized and released in Swedish here, which is very uncommon, usually we learn English partly through playing games and watching movies that aren't translated. The NES was far gone when I was a kid, the SNES too, so I found an old copy somewhere and predictably didn't like it compared to new games but I still felt nostalgic watching your videos about it. I actually went back and watched a full playthrough of the game.
If you like these games, I say you should definitely check out Nightshade! It's a pretty cool point-and-click adventure game, with a 1v1 & 1v2 fighting mini-game inside to fight against foes, where you play as a detective underdog crime-fighter. It's fun and interesting, but unfortunately it's very unforgiving in many aspects
I never got to play any of the MacVenture games. One game I had that slightly reminds me of this genre was Law of the West. More of a linear RPG shooter.. But the writing reminds me of these. Edit: there was an NES version of Law of the West?? According to Wiki there was.
This is hollowplayer I have never tried the adventure series until I seen your video because I'm more into action games and I was trying to find the games but the games are expensive or I didn't have no luck but I was looking for some games to play on my PlayStation 5 and they had the adventure series for $8 for all three games that came out for the NES and I had to get though it's all thanks to you
Cool stuff. Too bad Deja Vu 2 was never released on the NES, only much later on GBC. Wish there were more games of this sort on the NES released in the West. There were quite a few in Japan (generally murder mystery/detective stuff, with some exceptions here and there), mostly they were at least somewhat more VN-like though - and that's the direction JP games took later on, too, instead of the puzzle-heavy western games.
Can't plug this enough, but check out GrahfMetal Games on itch.io. They've put together two modern NES MacVenture titles called Infested (space horror themed) and Spectacle (set in a long dead Arabian-esque kingdom). Infested is quite good, but Spectacle is excellent. Both are inspired by Uninvited and Shadowgate but never feel derivative, and even throw in a few fun references here and there without beating you over the head with them. They're both completely free to download and play. Highly, highly recommended.
As someone who read alot as a kid, the text in these games doesn't surprise me. Before the YA explosion, kids seemed to read mature content. I wish they still did. Some people my age or younger are adults but behave like children, being surrounded by content made for babies
WOW An IBM computer under 18.000 bucks and we think today's high end systems are expensive,even though with the lousy economy today in some regions still is like someone gives close to those money! It's a good thing that nintendo delivered lots of stuff from those other systems to be able to play cheaper even if it wasn't the same thing i presume.
I remember playing shadowgate alot as a kid but I got stuck at some chick that kills u no matter what I could think to do(edit) that warewolf u shot her with a bow why dident I ever find a bow
You actually don't shoot her with a bow, you find a silver arrow, which you then stab her with. Why there's no bow, I don't know, as that would make more sense... 😅

Dang I was a weird kid. I loved ALL OF THESE as a kid.
We could have been friends.
😄
All of the friends I did have either had not heard of them or were uninterested.
I played the everloving shit out of Shadowgate. Never played Uninvited or Deja Vu but heard of them
@@scottydu81 I rented that as a kid and had no idea what I was doing. I never got into the castle. lol
You weren’t weird; I LOVED playing these games too! I first played the MacVenture games on my Commodore Amiga 500 computer, but later I got them for the NES. I feel the NES versions were a bit easier to complete, compared to their home computer counterparts.
I was always intrigued by them but never played them back at the time. I was also intrigued by the Nobunaga's Ambition series.
Ive rented uninvited. Felt like a real horror game. Nightmare on elm street doesn't count because the player is never in danger.
The fucking skeleton in the hallway scarred me as a kid.
I actually consider these to be the definitive versions of the macventure games for 1 lone reason: Herouki Masuno's fantastic music.
That music really is something. There's nothing else on the NES quite like it.
I tracked down a copy of sword of hope for the gameboy for Masuno's soundtrack as well.
My absolute favorites. I got the pleasure of getting to play them on an original Mac, and the NES versions are just so, so good. Hours spent on each of these.
I think Deja Vu is where I learnd about sodium pentathol as a kid.
Ah, shadowgate, the game with the best 8bit music ever made, and the best screen transition, so good that the remake has an option to turn them on.
it was a weird game for me and my brother, it was one of the first games to have us think outside the box (other than snake's revenge) and sadly, we only rented it and never finished it, many years later, more like decades later, i sat down and played it and finished it and felt great, it is a great game and one hell of a classic nes game that is truly an eternal piece of software.

Totally agree with you that the particular games we played growing up makes for a sharper eye in games to follow 👍
Awesome work 👍😎

Thinking about it now it sounds like the basis of a Dresden Files novel.
I just recently got into these thanks to your channel and I love them. Thanks for the content as always!
Glad you're enjoying MacVenture, Sean - thanks for watching!
Congratulations! And thanks for the new video! You take your sweet time making more, sir.
The music on shadowgate was my favorite followed by uninvited
Love the ambition of these games! Congrats on the kiddos, and I look forward to the new long-form videos!
So this is where the "Gaming in the Clinton Years" theme song came from.
Something so relaxing about video game channels
I always loved this game because it seemed like a direct evolution of Zork.
Deja Vu and Shadowgate were top ten favorites for me.
Many summer days spent with them.
Deja Vu wins between the two for me.
I loved games with "real world environments."
I was transported right out of my hot little North Carolina apartment to 1940s Chicago with that one.
Seriously.
It was GTA V real for me.
😄
I was unable to find/play Uninvited til a bit later, and o really like it too...but it doesn't have the cozy nostalgia of the other two.
Loved playing these games. They should have made a Scifi adventure as well. Cyborgs, mutants, airlocks, a spaceship, a malfunctioning teleporter.
Congrats Aaron!!! Can’t wait for more FNA!!
They remade shadowgate and it is GORGEOUS

Thanks again for your time.
I had the uninvited on the macintosh. It was the most terrifying game ever made. I still love it today and bought it on steam.
Keep rewatching the episodes anticipating new episode. Miss your episodes and best of luck brother.

That one song from deja vu sounds like the theme to mission impossible.
Kinda.
Found your channel yesterday, and it's awesome! Great coverage of great games 💜

15:40 "here is a picture of the suspect detective, go hunt him"
this and deja vu were some of my favorite games back then.
You didn't mention Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom.
Congrats and looking forward to the new stuff!
Hey thanks!
FNA posting at 7:25pm on a Friday night. *right there on the tin*
I remember I was stuck on this game cuz I didn't think to look in the trash for the capsules. So I actually bought the hint book that they sold in the back of the instruction booklet. I think it was like $19.95 and took like 4-6 weeks to be delivered. That was the only time I spent money on a strategy guide for a Nintendo game.
Man, sorry I missed you guys this week! Hope you are doing good FNA. Rock steady
I remember renting these on NES. My brother said another one like those was Tombs and Treasure.
Tombs and Treasure is a BADASS game. Fantastic soundtrack, too!
Congratulations on the kids! Thanks for the great videos, I like the long form videos a lot better actually
Your channel is awesome man,your story about shadow gate is very similar ,I put it in the shelf for a while, but eventually finished it,I was around same age to,good luck with your family

These games legit scared me when I played them alone at night as a kid.
As soon as I saw Deja Vu in Nintendo Power, I knew I had to have it. It's my favorite of the three.
lifelong Deja Vu fan, respect
These were and still are my favorite games wish they made more reminds me of being 10
some of the best games on the nes I still play em today
I bought shadowgate thinking it was like wizardry or bard's tale since there were no nes games like that at the time. I was so pissed to find out it was a point and click game but eventually I ended up liking it. Took me forever to win it since I had to find out how to get past a few spots from friends.
Welcome back! Hope you got *some* sleep.
Lol thanks it's getting better.
Hey!!!
Glad to see you are still getting videos out! Hope you and the family are well!
Congratulations❤️👍🎊🎉 two babies, one for each of you. GOD bless you and your family.
Thank you, Villian!
I've recently been playing the Swedish versions of Shadowgate and Deja Vu to learn the language a bit. I played Shadowgate years ago so I can pick up on some meanings of words, but a Norwegian friend of mine helps me out quite a bit when he watches me play Deja Vu. :)
And congratulations to you and your wife.
Thanks!
Loved these games!
Congratulations on the new baby boys! A blessing from God! Hold them close and don't waste a minute. I have three children myself.
Shadow Gate was too hard for me as a kid but I remember my Mom liked it...never could get the controller back after asking for help.
2:17 that's why we had an Atari St 😄
My love of harder difficulty settings in my games seems to have manifested itself in real life 😬
LOL
Don’t feel bad I remember struggling to find that damn key also.
Congratulations!
Also, I think going with several games in the same video is a good idea, those are always the videos I find the most interesting and it seems like they get the most views and likes too.
Thank you! And yeah... I try not to focus too much on "view count" and stats, but the fact is those videos always just seem to do better.

@@FridayNightArcade I don't think having the performance of videos in mind is necessarily a bad ting, especially when you've got as much on your plate as you have. Doing re-runs (except when making a statement such as this instance) and pumping out reaction videos might be a liiittle on the rough side of things, but that's pretty far removed.
Also, Shadowgate for the NES was actually localized and released in Swedish here, which is very uncommon, usually we learn English partly through playing games and watching movies that aren't translated. The NES was far gone when I was a kid, the SNES too, so I found an old copy somewhere and predictably didn't like it compared to new games but I still felt nostalgic watching your videos about it.

1. Love these games. Great video as always.
Glad i found the triple pack of these on ps4!
I actually really liked these. I liked zork amd muds too
I remember The Gaming Historian doing a video on Uninvited years ago.
That music brings back memories, alright.
So long and so epic... but you can beat Shadowgate in 16 minutes and 44 seconds or less.
Congratulations!
I never got to play any of the MacVenture games. One game I had that slightly reminds me of this genre was Law of the West. More of a linear RPG shooter.. But the writing reminds me of these.
Edit: there was an NES version of Law of the West?? According to Wiki there was.
Congrats on the twins. Good luck sleeping lol. But really though, enjoy them at every age, they grow up so fast.
This is hollowplayer I have never tried the adventure series until I seen your video because I'm more into action games and I was trying to find the games but the games are expensive or I didn't have no luck but I was looking for some games to play on my PlayStation 5 and they had the adventure series for $8 for all three games that came out for the NES and I had to get though it's all thanks to you

Check out the Bertram Fiddle games. They’re great. Full Throttle is good too
PLZ do a video of Deja vu 2 and the complete Shadowgate series also.
even as a kid i was like 'so i'm a knight or a prince or something but all i have is a torch?!'
Lol right??
I somehow beat shadowgate without knowing that select gives you hints.
Omg I loved these on Nintendo games !!
de ja vu game is crazy
I thought this was a screen cap from mars attacks
Can't plug this enough, but check out GrahfMetal Games on itch.io.
They've put together two modern NES MacVenture titles called Infested (space horror themed) and Spectacle (set in a long dead Arabian-esque kingdom).
Infested is quite good, but Spectacle is excellent. Both are inspired by Uninvited and Shadowgate but never feel derivative, and even throw in a few fun references here and there without beating you over the head with them.
They're both completely free to download and play. Highly, highly recommended.
I missed out on some good stuff.
Have you seen World of Horror on Steam? It's a Macventure looking game in the style of Junji Ito's horror manga.
I'll have to look into that - thanks for the tip.
Long form rules! Congratulations on kids. They will get to here an epic story about the time they were created in.
... did he say viola ironically? Isn't the expression voila?
As someone who read alot as a kid, the text in these games doesn't surprise me. Before the YA explosion, kids seemed to read mature content. I wish they still did. Some people my age or younger are adults but behave like children, being surrounded by content made for babies
WOW An IBM computer under 18.000 bucks and we think today's high end systems are expensive,even though with the lousy economy today in some regions still is like someone gives close to those money! It's a good thing that nintendo delivered lots of stuff from those other systems to be able to play cheaper even if it wasn't the same thing i presume.
5:36 it’s pronounced “Vwa-La”
ya Jabroney
Ultimate underworld was like these games on steroids I feel like.
Anyone agree?
Anyone even remember what I am talking about?
I remember playing shadowgate alot as a kid but I got stuck at some chick that kills u no matter what I could think to do(edit) that warewolf u shot her with a bow why dident I ever find a bow
You actually don't shoot her with a bow, you find a silver arrow, which you then stab her with. Why there's no bow, I don't know, as that would make more sense... 😅
