8-bit Adventure Anthology: Volume 1

8-bit Adventure Anthology is a collection of the NES versions of MacVenture titles Deja Vu, Shadowgate, and Uninvited with a much faster cursor and mouse support.

Unused Graphics#

best_logo is a crudely-drawn placeholder logo.

abstraction-logo-pxl-screen is a static splash screen. An animated splash screen was used instead.

SplashScreen and StoreLogo were seen on the digital storefronts used to sell the game, but never appear in the game itself.

ROM Files#

Shadowgate, however, seems to have been slightly edited to remove mentions of Nintendo:
