Du landest auf einem Feld voller Kristalle und Boni und musst alle Kristalle einsammeln, während du Minen und Kugeln von 12 verschiedenen Gegnertypen ausweichst. Sammle sie alle, um den Ausgang am unteren Bildschirmrand freizuschalten und zu entkommen. Dieses Action-Strategy-Spiel integriert Smart Bombs und Minen in einen knackigen Game Loop, in dem einfache Regeln zu tiefgründigen Herausforderungen führen.
Eine treue Wiederbelebung des 1987er-Klassikers vom Carmageddon-Designer Patrick Buckland, die sein Original-Artwork und Soundeffekte unverändert belässt. Zwölf Erfolge belohnen geschicktes Spiel, wobei einige kniffliger ausfallen als andere. Fans von Retro-Action-Strategy-Games werden den bewährten, süchtig machenden Reiz auf dem PC genießen.
When you start the game you find yourself on a field sprinkled with crystals and other goodies. Your job is to collect all the crystals while avoiding the mines – not to mention the 12 breeds of nasties and their bullets that soon turn up to try and stop you. Once you collect all the crystals, an exit at the bottom of the screen opens up so you can escape. Sounds simple? All the best games are – the depth of gameplay emerges from the simplest of pretexts.
Crystal Quest Classic is a revival of the 1987 award winning video game. The original was played on almost every Macintosh computer in existence before being ported to the Apple IIgs, Amiga and the Game Boy – followed many years later by a reawakening on the Xbox360. It had so many firsts including being the very first color game on the Macintosh. Crystal Quest was one of 5 titles included in Macworld Magazine’s “Game Hall of Fame” and got 5 out of 5 mice from MacUser Magazine.
“Crystal Quest cost me some of the best hours of my life. Nice to see it back and nice conversion. It looks, feels, and sounds just the way I remember it.” – Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus
There are bonuses, smart bombs and mines. There are also 12 achievements that you can earn. Some are harder than others.
This is an early game designed by Carmageddon creator Patrick Buckland, with all the art and sound effects just as he created them. And yes, the level exit sound is Patrick.
