I actually really enjoyed playing Redguard; it was a pleasant action-adventure game in the vein of Tomb Raider. The gameplay is pretty good, with a slightly awkward fighting mechanic, but otherwise pretty workable game. It leans heavily on lore, with tons of necessary dialog and story constantly thrown at you. I, however, am fine with this. I fell in love with the history of the Elder Scrolls series with Skyrim, and all this lore in Redguard was cool with me.
Anyway, back to the point at hand. So I found all these games, but I knew that there was more. Four more to be exact: the games in the Elder Scrolls Travels series. They are, in order of release, Stormhold, Dawnstar, Shadowkey, and Oblivion (the mobile version, not the computer or canceled psp version). I have searched for these, and they are not easy to find. And even if I did find them, I'm not sure how I'd play them
The one I searched for the most, however, was Shadowkey. Shadowkey was the only 3D Travels game released. Unfortunately, it was only ever released for the Nokia Ngage. No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find an Ngage emulator. There are one or two things that call themselves Ngage emulators, but are unable to play any of the actual Ngage games. I eventually consented to the fact that it would be impossible to play Shadowkey on my computer.
So now I'm just searching for good Ngage and copy of Shadowkey (for a reasonable price) to pop up on ebay. There are a few up right now that I have my eye on, but still not sure whether it would be worth it. Shadowkey only got mediocre reviews, but I have kind of been obsessing over it.
But that is just what I do. I obsess over something until I get it, play with it a bit, then move on to the next thing. For now, however, I'll just keep on looking.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you come back next time!
P.S.
If anyone has found a way to play the Travels games on the computer (or has even just found their files), I would love to see it.
