This I call a HUGE improvement! Recommended!cospefogo2024-05-31Version 1.0

Hey! Shadowgate is a medieval themed game, what that modern "MacOS Monaco" font style was doing there originally?

Loved the choice of the new font. Since this title is a game where you read all the time, the whole experience becomes much more pleasant.

Perhaps the original font was chosen by Kemco developers back in time due to the low resolutions of old TV, RF connectors, etc etc... so you could not risk to have a blurry image with something difficult to read.

But today, with our modern screens, this new font really stand out!

QUESTION for the hack dev —— Is it possible to extend this IMPROVEMENT to the other Shadowgate siblings —— DEJA VU and UNINVITED?

Final word: absolutely recommended!
