what is the limit for how long of a game we can suggest

i want to say something like raidou 2 but thats 20+ hours rushing it

I think it's kinda effected by the length of the one before your pick tbh, I wouldn't want to do 2 month-long rpgs back to back, but one every now and then aint bad.

Just need to be sensible with your choice really. I was thinking of some DOS stuff for my pick but if it was this round I wouldn't have gone straight in for something infuriating and ancient again immediately lol

I had a hazy recollection of the game and knew it was pretty short and most people would skip, yeah. the music is still great though.

Being introduced to games I would have probably never played on my own has been really cool, and mystic towers was a good example of that

Game 22



Nightshade (NES) - 1992 - Deadline 10/12/22 11:59EST

Deathtraps! Superheroes! Egyptian symbology! Noir adventure! Somebody named Waldo P. Schmeer!

Metro City's greatest hero, Vortex, has been killed at the hands of the city's numerous street gangs. Without his protection, the city falls into mayhem and turf wars. Seizing the opportunity, the notorious villain Sutekh asks the warring gangs if they can dig it (they can), and a new unified crime empire is born. A vigilante named Mark decides to take the law into his own hands, dons his trenchcoat and a much better name, and sets off to bring down the crime lords of Metro City once and for all as NIGHTSHADE.





Nightshade (full title: Nightshade Part 1: The Claws of Sutekh) is a combination action and point-and-click adventure game developed by Beam Software and published by Ultra Games. The game was meant to be the first part in a series, but no sequels were ever made; however, it served as the basis for the SNES version of Shadowrun.

In addition to adventure & action sequences, you'll need to manage Nightshade's popularity with Metro City's citizens - you can access certain areas only if the populace regards you as a true hero.
