- The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey is one of the most elusive Elder Scrolls games out there! Probably because it was only released for the Nokia N-Gage. Yeah, that's why.

Classic Micky D: pretending he's playing Shadowkey on an emulator because he doesn't want us to know that he owns a real Nokia N-Gage.
He'd surely be targeted by the brotherhood for the possession of such a powerful artifact
That shit's a flex idk what you mean
The mad lads out here flexing
It's Nokia. I'd believe that shit is still working lol.
@@haxthehuman409 aha a Darkness reference
Shadowkey lore kind of has a cult classic status because there's all sorts of weird and interesting ideas in it that aren't really explored in future games. Shadow magic, alternate timelines, the Ice Tribes (a race of ice barbarians that were commonly believed to be the Falmer by fans before Skyrim came out), an ancient Ayleid airship that harvested stars, and whatnot.
I thought the ice tribes were Dawnstar?
They're in both games.
"An ancient ayleid airship that harvested stars" sounds so badass
How long is this game?
This is the kind of stuff that makes TES fascinating!
- Daggerfall UI.
- 3D world.
- Morrowind music.
- Only on Nokia NGage.
Sounds like my kind of game!
A weird mix of Daggerfall and Morrowind graphics, too, and I think some of the assets are from Arena? So confusing lol
Dont forget MULTIPLAYER! Awesome co-op adventure!
Man, they should have ported this to the DS. A lot of squandered potential in the travels series.
I'm kinda bummed that Travels series wasn't resurrected for smartphones, seems like it would be a fun time. Instead we got Blades, which is... A game
@@TheSynthPunk Blades is the elder scrolls game ever
A game? More like a slots machine
@@SofaKingStupid the gameplay is incredibly existent!
Yeah, this game would have done a lot better on PSP/DS than the "goatse console".
Fun Fact: A lot of the Shadowkey lore (like implications from the War of Bend'r-Mahk for example) is used in Skyrim:Home of the Nords mod for Morrowind. You can even meet one of the very important characters from that game. You need to find him first though.
Skyrim: Home of the Nords is such a good mod and every Elder Scrolls fan needs to play it. It's that good
@@MickyD do you give us your spit of honor dat dis is true
@Cyr Isen it could have been finished had they not expanded its scope to literally all of Tamriel.
But that's not what matters. Don't think of it as unlikely to be finished within our lifetime. Think of it as likely to outlive us all.
@@MoonMoverGaming they havent, TR has remained the same, PT is the one expanding their scope to all of tamriel
@@MoonMoverGaming They're not trying to expand to all of Tamriel. They've taken so long because they're a bunch of fans working together in their free time to make enough content to rival if not exceed vanilla Morrowind, they've set their standards as high if not higher than the vanilla game, and as they've increased their standards they've felt the need to go back to redo old stuff they feel isn't up to par anymore.
I had an N-Gage in the past. The game ran much more slowly on the actual hardware. The framerate never got fast enough for the game to look smooth and it dropped to single digit fps during fights, which made the game practically unplayable and created an annoying input lag. I never left the first village because of that. It was the same for the Call of Duty game on N-Gage, but there was a Ghost Recon first person shooter which actually ran smoothly enough to be enjoyable. Great video though!
Oddly enough the FPS increases after the first town and dungeon. Not that it's ever good, but it becomes playable eventually.
There was a simple overclock for the original N-Gage that makes this game run smoother.
@@danwhelan Shit outta luck for the QD though. :(
@@delldell21 True, Nokia saved some cash with the changes to the QD revision
Og n-gage (better fps than QD) - - > overclock (works only with og n-gage, so even better fps than QD) - - > Og shadowkey cartridge (games run smoother on their original cartridge than on a MMC card) = Epic win !!!
The game becomes very playable from beginning to end !
Micky thank you for showing us this there is not to much footage for shadowkey
Hello fellow osrs pfp haver :)
The N-Gage was actually a pretty impressive little machine, a lot of the N-Gage exclusive games are really impressive, but I think on the actual N-Gage they ran horribly
This is the consensus among actual hardware owners: didn't do what the ads promised. Still a neat piece of tech, functional phone and only landscape design I can think of.
@@qwopiretyu Nokia 5510 and 3300 have the exact same landscape body layout as the N-Gage
You could have just asked Zaric Zhakaron. He is an expert in super old Elder Scrolls stuff and how to get them to work.
Real lorebeard that guy. He can probably recite all the obscure stuff from memory from that game.
Can’t wait for his ESO video since he said he’s gonna make a long video on it
There is not a 1 person here watching TES mobile game clip that would not know who Zaric Zhakaron (totally not in suit and elegant tie) is, c'mon! :D That given, its never wrong to recommend Zaric's guides and walkthroughs...
@@catelfpoland8717 Lmao you're not wrong. There's no way this video wasn't sitting below a Skyrim rant video from Zaric in the suggested
The emulator might have save states you could use as checkpoints by quicksaving/loading , it'd be neat to see more of this cause it looks a lot better than I thought it would
Yeah good point, that's how I used to play animal crossing wild world. It would save a state in the same folder as my emulator and I'd just bring it up again next time I wanted to play. Only trouble is sometimes the time would get out of sync for some reason and it would screw up the save state.
The game lets you save at any time though
Playing this on a real N-Gage it was laggy as all hell, although it's impressive enough that this was able to run on a device like this to begin with.
Cool to see it run at a decent and consistent framerate!
This game would be wicked fun as a phone app. They should seriously consider re-releasing the Travels series if they’re not still caught up in exclusivity.
Would've made a pretty neat DS game series too
Is much rather this stuff than blades
@@josephhughes2429 hell yeah, the dated graphics are really charming as well, charming in a sort of way boring hi res games just arent. Old games are just better
@@joelsweeney4024 aesthetics > graphics tbh
@@josephhughes2429 what
Yes, “Nokia” should be pronounced as “Nokia”. There is no other way
You want a Kia?
No Kia
For those that know, knowkia
It's pronounced "Mik-ee".
tomato, tomato
Thanks Greg
Amazing how Beth made a mobile TES game that was way better than Blades, so many years before. This would have been awesome to have back in the day. Hell, it'd still be pretty great now!
Agreed. If I had a way to play it, I would.
Or you just run open morrowind on an android phone
@@vonfaustien3957 yeah, but I've already played that for like 500 hours, I've never played this game :P
@@vonfaustien3957 what?
@@tadpolegaming4510 Open Morrowind is an engine swap mod for Morrowind that replaces the orginal engine with a modren one. Think of it like the morrowind version of daggerfall unity for lack of a better comparison.
Well not technically endorsed by the devlopers of the mod or you Bethesda for legal reasons useing it you can run morrowind on none windows OS like say android
There’s something charming about mobile games. Especially when it’s Elder Scrolls. The gameplay was incredible! Hearing the muffled Morrowind music brought a feeling of nostalgia for something I never even had. I wish this had also been released on any other mobile game device lmao thank you for the video!!!
Maybe, but I wonder if he'll play the Oblivion version. For what I heard it's fairly bad. And comparing this to that is like night and day!
@@dustgraystone9448 To be fair, PSP Oblivion is like in a pre-alpha state, so it's not surprising.
@@TheSynthPunk I mean the phone game Oblivion.
This looks way more in line with Elder Scrolls than Blades by a long shot.
Yeah it's actually a game and not just a money siphon
Looks more like tes then skyrim and oblivion.
@@akimbofurry2179 than*
I can imagine it now... You're in a call and you hear elder scrolls music on the line
I never forgot Shadowkey!
I've been wanting this, and the other Travels Games, in an anthology. I think it would sell.
Especially if they keep in the Multiplayer.
This game but remastered would be so much better than Blades
@@VagueSpaces I disagree, yeah Blades is...fine ig, the whole microtransactions are the games biggest problems like you said but this game has some potential
me too, shadowkey is def the best of the travels games!
It would be amazing if they released them again. I wanted all the old mobile elder scrolls games but my parents wouldn’t let me have a phone lmaooo Oblivion on pc came with a little slip of paper that had an ad for the oblivion phone game. Also wish oblivion on psp ended up actually happening.
@@VagueSpaces I honestly enjoyed Blades, but it hit that free to play ceiling games get stuck that either requiring a level of grinding that would make JRPGs blush, or have you pay to speed the leveling process to upgrade weapons, armor, the town, etc. Just give me a more balanced version of Blades for $20 to $30 and I'd be a happy camper. Would love to see a HD remake of Shadowkey though.
Reminds me as the middle child between Daggerfall and Morrowind.
saw this without my glasses and was legitimately thinking that was master chief on the thumbnail and i got excited thinking you were playing halo
This game instantly brought back memories of this other game.
When I was a younger and wanted an Elder Scrolls game on my old Iphone (old as in I think it was my dads 3G that got handed down to me) one of the games that came up on the app store was called “The Quest”. Does anyone else remember that game? I checked it out again and the version I own is now called “The Quest Classic” and a new version is out with higher resolution pictures but from taking a quick look I do really enjoy the look of the older one better, very charming and retro (might just be nostalgia though). Would be a cool game to check out on this channel. It has very big classic TES vibes.
I was playing that a few years ago, I think there's a pc version now, loved the old school grid style without a party and open world. Edit, it's on steam, lol.
@@Drexus88 Oh nice. I’ll have to check out if the steam version has any new features. Was a great old school style rpg.
I currently own The Quest on my device! My first character was a warrior which I found to be very boring but that one helped me learn the game. Eventually, I started the game over again with a meme character. I picked the flower-crown girl icon and went with a spell caster build then named her “Magikid the (some evil adjective like Fearsome idk.)
I tried a DLC and got stuck on it because of the skeletons that paralyze you in this convoluted maze. It was the sci-fi themed one and it made me so mad that I rage quit for several months.
Great game though! Very enjoyable.
Edit: Fixed some spelling mistakes lol.
HOLY SHIT MICKY! I KNEW THIS EXISTED!
I saw it in a magazine ages ago, completely forgot the name but this vague memory of an elder scrolls game for mobile stayed with me and now it's come back full circle.
You're a good lad micky, keep it up.
This is great! I would love to see a playthrough of it. Especially considering not many videos about this game are out there
i love how micky like the harry potter chamber of secrets soundtrack so much he uses it casualy and i dont blame him and sure well done for getting this up and running
jeremy soule did the soundtrack for the early harry potter games and the elder scrolls games
@@circuitsalsa i do know this as everyone points it out including micky
It's so good
You know what I can't believe? I can't believe the amount of quality content you put out. I love the Elder Scrolls and I love your channel, too. Keep it up, Micky!
The Irish are actually indeed right, it's the Anglos that pronounce it wrong
Portuguese also pronounce it right💪
The Portuguese. Great bunch of lads!
A port of geese
I'm from the UK and I've only ever heard it pronounced correctly.
When i saw the thumbnail I thought they made an elderscrolls game for the n64 for a second
For a 2004 phone game, this is actually pretty cool. Thanks for figuring this out for us to see.
I gotta say I REALLY appreciate you doing a Shadowkey video. There is such little footage and info on the game. I would even be down for a playthrough of the main story! Might be a bit long for a video/series, but a livestream could work!
Either way, brilliant stuff 👍
Did not think I would enjoy seeing content for an old 2004 mobile Elder Scrolls, but now that the video is over I just want more.
Play more of this! It’s so interesting and this game actually seems real fun with the hardware in mind.
Your videos bring me so much joy, this game looks like a gem!
I remember someone was trying to convince me (like no more than 5 years ago), that ngage will be a hit one day... You are making me look stupid here, Micky...
There were so many truly ambitious mobile games in the early days. I’d love to see a ported collection of the Doom & Wolfenstein RPG games. Maybe throw in the Orcs and Elves games if there’s no licensing issues.
To this day I am still deeply saddened knowing we ALMOST had a PSP Elder Scrolls game... I wanna do over!
I like the Goosebumps reference. (Good edits overall - that must have been a lot of work) Also this game is surprisingly good.
I was always curious about this game but couldn't be bothered to try getting it working. Thanks for showcasing it
Dang, you've got me wanting to play this now! Great video style, Mickey D! I quite enjoyed this. I'm subbed to too many channels but you might just find a place if all your vids are like this.
I've been wanting to check this game out, glad you are talking about it.
Rather than blades I wish they'd make something like this. Just something with a story and rudimentary gameplay that is at least emulating TES. Charge maybe £5 each no gems, coins etc.
I've been playing Oblivion on my phone with a controller and Gamepass. This is the PSP Oblivion I was promised and I can finally rest easily.
You just unlocked memories i forgot i had
I will suppress them after this video has finished 😇
Was fun to watch. Hope to see more!
I've been delving into the wacky world of emulation for the past year or so & it's really fun, despite some of the hurdles I've had to jump over. It's definitely something I'd recommend people look into themselves when they have some spare time. Emulating games can be a little tricky so I'd be happy to link a couple of YT channels I've found who have some really useful tutorials on the subject. Let me know if you're interested, otherwise help shouldn't be too hard to find.
I'll definitely check out the N-Gage Emulator at some point & Shadowkey too. Thanks for putting the effort in to get this working for us Micky D. Your dedication to your fans & The Elder Scrolls series is much appreciated as always.
I actually had this on an original ngage. It was a really cool idea and was definitely awesome when I was in middle school. Unlike blades it was a legitimate attempt to make a real elder scrolls on a mobile device. If they had taken this formula and applied it to an iPhone it would have been much better than blades.
Thanks for doing the legwork for this. This game is charming. I love the little compass and health bar dragons.
I still have this game. I bought it when it came out. I know it looks a bit... yeah... but "back in the day" this was an amazing experience! N-Gage and N-Gage QD were innovative products that definitely left a mark in mobile phone history. I had the better version, "QD", where you didn't have to detach the phone battery to put the game in. N-Gage had a lot of good games, actually. They looked a bit clunky even back then, but the fact that you could play decent games on the go was damn nice. I especially loved this one football game and Pathway to Glory, which was a game that could still hold up today.
Those truly were the days... and I'm old as fuck.
I played this years ago. It really is a decent game. The ending is unique. It isn't breaking the mold on any game mechanics, just you know... Decent. I would of liked them to recreate this or give some major nods to it in either Skyrim or TES6.
Would have*, would of makes no sense
At the end of a long day full of depresso espresso's im glad i can come home to Micky D content
This is the 1st video of yours I've ever watched and I subscribed after the 1st 15 seconds
Thanks for posting the N-Gage emulation link.
Was about to post a comment asking for ot
I was so excited when I saw mickys name as I thought it was the Harry Potter walkthrough, sad times lol
Soon lad
@@MickyD oh hey micky😁
I’d love to see you play more!
I remember seeing an ad in a magazine or some other printed media for an Elder Scrolls game for flip phones. I think it was just Oblivion. Would be another cool one to check out if you can somehow play it let alone record it nowadays.
EDIT: It’s actually also in the travels series and was the one that came out after Shadowkey.
Cool find! I'm old enough to remember the NGage and the weird advertising but I had no idea there was an Elder Scrolls game.
Randomly stumbled onto the channel, started binge watching videos. 🤷♂Todd save me.
I would expect there to be a safe function, since the main menu had a button to open up recent saves. I would genuinly love to see another video on that game, it was already great fun to watch, thank you for that!
im a nice fella that liked and already was subscribed, yayy!
Late Happy Birthday Micky!
Your editing is actually getting really good.
keep it up Micky D! On a roll!
Micky D, you're one of the few channels I find actually keeping me engaged in your videos. I mostly click off of other videos because I'm not hooked, but your humor and dedication to achieving a goal for a video is really amazing! keep it up!
Nice playthrough! I have this game and an n-gage, but never put too much time into it.
I cried a tantrum in front of the electronic goods store begging my mom to buy me an N-gage when I was like 9 or 10. I recall playing a Sonic game, can't remember which one was it though.
Thank god for you, finish the game and stream it all and document it all
Wow, when I brought this up in the Blades video I didn't think you'd actually take it as a challenge
I had no idea this existed, had a good time watching you play.
Couldn't watch this stream, glad I can catch it later
This is extremely cool, seeing a corner of ES I had no idea about
The fucking Hello song edit was amazing.
How did I miss this notification from my favorite irish content creator
a stream of this would be a good day
Eagerly awaiting the full playthrough
I just got a now-rare banner ad - for Facebook - during an Elder Scrolls video. I feel like it's 2011 again.
Ngage, now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Start the day with a tea and Micky D.
Man,your videos keep getting better and better
would love to see you play more of Shadowkey, like a legit playthrough would be cool
0:35 Dead Link, lol!
That caught me off guard, I had never seen or before.
I was looking for some random shit to watch whilst starting off my Friday evening drinks.
Micky D, gettin' on after it, to the rescue.
Should make a series 👍 its was fun watching
It's amazing how you can see that the dagger was drawn on a black background.
And how it fades into black at the edge.
But the engine doesn't alpha transparency, so they just cut it out. and left the almost black pixels at the edge.
first elder scrolls mobile game i had was "Oblivion" on the motorola razer. That's a legend of a game.
Really interesting to see you play this. I dimly remember as a kid seeing this advertised in the back of the Morrowind manual but I had completely forgotten about this. It's leagues better than Blades, to be honest.
You're awakening fever dreams of playing that thing in a car ride home as a kid.
that 'Hello' gag really got me
we love the effort you put into this vid amazing
Make this into a series man I wanna see ya beat the game!
Really hope we get some more of this, so unique and interesting
Really the nicest thing you could say about the N-Gage was that it could have been the Tapwave Zodiac.
I’d also *really* recommend everyone look into this Oblivion PSP game prototype he mentions at the beginning; I’d never heard of that, and the footage is kinda wild 😆
I'd watch an entire playthrough of this to be honest.
Shadowkey deathless run?
As a northern English person I pronounce Nokia exactly the same lol
Bastilla Micky still haunts my dreams
2:10 thumbs up, simply for the reason that you used the music from the harry potter games ❤
Oh,what a nostalgia
I play this n-gage game from old Nokia 5800
And was amazing
i had an NGage! still remember sitting in town playing StreetFighter on an emulator on it.
Oh shizz, my old video (title) was in this! Nice
Glad you talked about this game my friend
This was pretty fun, play some more!
I didn't forget it. Didn't have this one myself but i played travels dawnstar on my flip phone years ago.
This is actually pretty sick tho, i would love a series
Omg i remember begging my mum to buy me one of these for Christmas, thanks mum for not buying it
