And to celebrate the release of these classics, the MacVenture Series Collection games will be available for a special limited time at a 20% launch discount on Steam ($2.39 each, $7.19 four pack bundle).

“It’s awesome to see that there is still a large audience that enjoys well-written adventures,” said Dave Marsh, co-founder of Zojoi. “Since the launch of the re-imagined Shadowgate 2014, players have been asking to experience some of our earlier adventure games – so we figured, why not publish the original MacVenture titles? Making the entire collection available to our fans breathes new life into these classics and we look forward to releasing grander adventures in the near future.”

The MacVenture Series Collection consists of four classic games:

Déjà Vu: A Nightmare Comes TrueDéjà Vu puts the player in the role of Theodore “Ace” Harding – retired boxer and private eye – who wakes up in a bathroom stall, unable to remember anything and framed for murder. Players must solve a complex mystery before either their health, or the cops, bring them down.

Déjà Vu II: Lost In Las Vegas – Hard-knuckled gumshoe Ace has been abducted by the notorious Las Vegas mobster, Tony Malone. Knocked senseless and left in the bathtub of a cheap Vegas hotel, gamers must re-trace their steps to unravel a mysterious conspiracy.

Shadowgate – Welcome to Shadowgate, the living castle.  As the last of a great line of hero-kings, the players must stop the diabolical Warlock Lord before his black magic unleashes the hideous Behemoth and destroys the world.  Venture into the mystical castle, solve riddles, and use magic spells in the granddaddy of all adventure games.

Uninvited – After an unfortunate car crash, the player awakes in front of a mysterious mansion, only to discover their brother is missing. With nowhere else to go, gamers embark on a frightening journey replete with menacing spirits, roaming zombies and a horde of dark dangers.
