Bought Shadow Madness despite the above warnings, and it just might be the worst RPG I've played (besides Quest 64). It works fine in Duckstation, no crashes so far. I just can't find any redeeming features. The story, characters, and dialogue are bland, the battle system is a bore, the world map is the worst I've seen, and I guess there are a lot of music tracks, but nothing that comes close to the music of the PS1 or SNES greats. I was thinking about sticking with it at least until disc 2, but the dungeon design is horrible, and the battles are growing tiresome. If I ever did read about it in EGM, must have quickly forgotten it.
