Who would have guessed that someone would do a TAS of a storybook game?

This TAS consumes only three torches and collects only one of the six items required by the Sphinx, but it still manages to beat the game.

Note: This movie ends input immediately after defeating the behemoth, whereas current Shadowgate TASes proceed to the last screen of text. Therefore, the time would be slightly longer by current standards.
