This is a 'Hint Book', to the Nintendo Entertainment System {NES}, video game "Shadowgate". It features 18 greyscale screenshots, 8 monocolor illustrations. There are tip on what the player should do at each area, questions and answers for each area. The question section has three Answer numbers for each question. Depending on how much help the reader needs, the reader might have to go to A18, then if still stuck, go to B12, and finaly if they can't solve it on their own to answer section C46. The answers are also randomized, so the answer before or after A18, won't be directly before the puzzle in A19.

• The Deja Vu Hint Book
  
• The Shadowgate Hint Book
  
• The Uninvited: Hint Book
