Well, hopefully anyway.
So maybe it's not cyberpunk like the
other Shadow KS I happily backed, but this one is still near and dear to me, because I grew up on this sucker:

And now we're getting this one!

"The last thing that you remember is standing before the wizard Lakmir as he gestured wildly and chanted in an archaic tongue. Now you find yourself staring at an entryway which lies at the edge of a forest."
So begins the legend of Shadowgate, the grandaddy of all 'point and click' fantasy adventure games - a title that paved the way for a host of fantasy games to follow. In Shadowgate, you move from room to room through the labyrinths of the living castle, confronting the devilish denizens and confounding the fiendish traps laid by the Warlock Lord. Your quest is to fulfill an ancient prophecy by gathering various objects of power along with three ancient artifacts. Once assembled, these relics of old comprise the Staff of Ages - the only weapon that can stop the traitorous sorcerers' plan of unleashing the Behemoth, a titan of tremendous power, on an unsuspecting world.

Shadowgate was one of my favorite games way back when. That and Uninvited (though I never finished Uninvited).
I always wanted to finish the N64 sequel but never did.
This is the first I've heard of this though, and I loved Shadowgate on the NES so I'm kind of excited that this may get the funding it needs!
edit: well balls, I can't spell names right
This is pretty cool.
Yeah, I'm not sure what gave anyone the idea that the ban might have been lifted, but it hasn't.
I saw that Shadowgate Kickstarter a few weeks back too, but I can't say I'm a big fan of that art style. I hope the music is as awesome as the NES one though.
The latest update from the composer says he's using the NES tunes as inspiration. They've already shared some samples.
