Shadowgate: Shadowgate Classic

A complete graphical facelift for Shadowgate. All rooms have been redesigned.

Enhances games graphics by:
- Using GBC port graphics where possible/suitable
- New custom graphic where it's not
- Increasing contrast and colourcount where possible
- Changing palettes to be more cohesive and not so...weird (eg: less pink)
- Cleaner font and other minor UI improvements
- Includes the unused "goblin room"-music. It now plays in the Sphinx room.

About
------
So after being really disappointed with the Shadowgate PC remake I'd really wanted to go back the original (the NES port of the original to be exact).
Shadowgate has always had a special place in my heart thanks to it's great atmosphere. To be honest most of the games puzzles are fairly illogical trial and error runs and it has little to no replay value once you've solved it's riddles. But it has some of the best NES music ever and the sense of exploration is great since the graphics are so varied as each room has been given a unique design.

The graphics in the NES port suffers from inconsistent quality and some poor palette choices that begs to be improved upon.
Actually Kemco did this themselves when they re-released Shadowgate Classic for Gameboy Colour and I've based my hack on this version of the game.

This has been my most ambitious hack so far with over 5000 tiles being edited and all of the rooms in the game has been redesigned.
