This is a question for our European fans: How many of you have played the Swedish language version of Shadowgate?
The NES port was one of the few NES games to get a Swedish language version of the game, and even became infamous for a typo in the translation. Here you can see the back of the box for the Swedish version of the NES Shadowgate:
If we can get past our goal of $120,000, one of the things we want to do is get the new Shadowgate translated into other languages. Even though I'm the Community Manager, I intend to make sure that should we get to the point where we can look into French, Italian, German, and Spanish translations (the usual), Swedish is also included as a MUST translate.
(Come to think of it, translating into Japanese might also be beneficial as well since Shadowgate does have a following in Japan too!)

It also has some other translation oddities, but the command menu misspellings were the big ones.
