Back in the day - 1987 or so - I used to while away the summer by biking up to my local videogame store, a local place called Gamekeepers, and checking out the new releases for my beloved Commodore 64. I have many great memories from this period - Ultima II, Questron, Adventure Construction Set... ah, such good stuff...
One day, I visited the store and was astounded to see an amazing-looking adventure game on the Commodore 64 by one of my favorite companies, Tellarium a/k/a Trillium. (I had previously spent a very enjoyable couple of weeks on Dragonworld.) The new game was called Shadowkeep, and it featured amazing graphics! The shop keeper was demonstrating it on the in-store C64, but he wouldn't let anyone play it, because it recorded the actions of the player on the game disk.
Sadly, I couldn't buy the game until saving up some allowance money... and by the time I had the cash on hand, the store had closed.
Now it's 20 years later... and I'm still looking for it! This is an odd piece of missing software, because it was a high-profile release by an established company (and it's still well-known by old-school gamers.) Yet, no one has a copy.
Can you please put Shadowkeep on your "Most Wanted" list? Thanks!
