The classic game Shadowgate is looking to get itself a fresh new look and to do that its going to need a little help in the form of funding. The developers of this classic point and click adventure game are looking to raise $120,000 to fund the modernisation of this classic title.  They are calling on the people who have been playing it since its inception back in 1987.  Since then its been published on more than 10 platforms. For those of you who don’t know what Shadowgate is and what they hope to do I’ll just let the developers fill you in because, well, they say it best.

“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... this Shadowgate is NOT A PORT. It's a re-imagining that includes a lot of new features, exciting updates and ingenious additions that will add even more to the mythology and expand upon the original story of our fantasy classic. This is the Shadowgate that we always wanted to make and we are thrilled that we have the opportunity to capture the unique excitement of the original while expanding on the world and mythos like never before. And if you've never played a first-person adventure title, this is the one to start with!”

So why not take a look and if you feel so inclined donate a little to help this game see the bright new world that is 2012.
