Any way to get the uncensored versions?
Judging by the trailer, it looks like the games are running as the censored North American versions. Is there a way to load the uncensored graphics/text instead? For example, the dead guy in Deja Vu should have a pool of blood around him.

If you can figure out how to get the games out of the exe file, you could probably apply a patch, but I don't know for sure if it will work or not.

As far as we can tell these seem to just be the original NES ROMs running on a custom frontend that allows for cursor control. This means you get all the content expurgated as as it was in the original USA versions of the games back in 90-92. The Cutting Room Floor has a full list of all censorship in DV and Un, for the curious. Doesn't seem like Shadowgate needed much tweaking.

All things told it's not much! The censorship drops the games from a soft R down to a high PG-13, but there are still depictions in every game of your character being brutally killed in a variety of creative ways. Kind of impressive how much they slid under the Nintendo censors, considering how much milder stuff got trimmed off Maniac Mansion.

Patching this will prevent the achievements from being accomplished...
