Welcome to Nethergate, an exciting, epic fantasy role-playing game for the Macintosh! This document will tell you everything you need to know about exploring the mysteries of Shadowvale and how to get around as a band of Roman or Celtic warriors.
Of special importance is the Registration Form. You use it to pay for the full version of Nethergate on a CD-ROM. Without the complete game, you will only be able to play the first quarter of Nethergate. To get to the registration form, click on the button just below...

Read the section Beginner's Tutorial. This section will give you detailed, step by step instructions to explain how to play Nethergate.
This is Nethergate, a huge, highly-detailed Shareware fantasy role-playing system for the Macintosh. Inside, you will find beautiful 16-bit graphics, a powerful, easy to use interface, and a fascinating storyline. You can choose to play Nethergate as the good or the bad guys, and the game is completely different depending on which side you play. It's two games in one!
About the Demo:
If you don't yet have the Nethergate CD-ROM, you are probably playing the demo version. Until you purchase the CD-ROM, you can only play the first quarter of the game. This will give you a chance to make sure Nethergate runs properly on your system and that you like it. Should you then decide that you want to purchase Nethergate, select “How To Order” from the starting screen or press the Registration Form button (above).
When you order, by mail, phone, or on the secure registration form on our web site, a CD-ROM with the full game and character editor will be mailed to you. Nethergate is $30 (outside North America, add $4 shipping). When you order, you can also get a hint booklet with a full walkthrough of the game and a pile of maps for $7. Ordered separately, the hint book is $10.
