[AMDQuadCore1]

Atari 1983!!!! What a time!!!!

[SWCeagles2007]

if you go behiind the building in the first level and jump you can warp pretty far in the game

[TheDevilbuster]

I kinda like this game. But why does it have to be so stinkin' small?!

[doggodelmal]

[thefrostyblanket2]

[123stephenno]

the old japanese arcade game and rare in the us it used a trakball

[dslubes]

3:05 - 3:09 kinda sounded like Black Panther, by crystal castles... right? Coincidence?

[natedaman7]

[Subatomic1000]

[participantification]

[BlueberryBurrito]

I have the arcade cabinet of this, it needs a new monitor though. :/

[music2012]

I remember playing this on the Apple IIC, I was around 7 at the time, this was like Pac-Man on roids.

[Nintendofan2001]

prettie not prerry

lol:)

[Nintendofan2001]

is this Atari???

the grafics in that game look prerry good for a atari

[ChefUncleRick]

Nice! This was probably the first arcade game I actually beat!

[danhuling]

lol I remember the secret 'warp' areas--first level, go behind the castle and jump. or if the door is there, go in the door and jump. (its a lower warp though) was a killer game.. I officially hated all living trees after this game. :-)

[alecmonkey86]

The sounds are like ear rape.

[Network23549]

From personal knowledge?

[DanielRock]

are you serious? these are the sounds of ultimate epic from from the past :3

[typhlosion108]

I have this game on my PC it's great!

[alfredogangsta]

I remember seeing this at Bag&Save when I was like 6 and shopping with my mom... it was kind of out of my league then. Maybe it still is.

[nillychoirpop]

what are you supposed to do in this game?

[lwendho]

It is a pacman-like game : you control the little bear and must eat all the red dots avoiding other creatures. ;-)

[Network23549]

Pick up the dots avoid getting touched. And it used a track ball.

[Strideo1]

I used to play this on the Atari ST home computer system.

[highonbetter]

I got this game for my birthday when i was a little boy for my atari 2600 lol

[zuluforyou]

I used to have this. I loved it

[secuda1]

this my friends was 3D back then :).

[SuperRiku551]

GamePro or Gameinformer said that this is the first game to ever have an ending.

[sinistermoon]

Well they are idiots then.

[timtamturn]

Hey I love this game too! You're pretty good my only suggestion is that on the 4th level there you should grab the honey and gems off the elevator first. Oh well, good try.

[vertiis]

The band Crystal Castles took their name from the Crystal Castle in the 80's TV show She-Ra.

[milofire]

I pumped so many quarters into this game back in the day at the arcade...loved it! The controller was a red ball that spun, lol good times.  PeacexXx!!!

[smpetrey]

the band name isnt from THE game, its a reference from a tv show. its merely coincidence that they splice atari chips into their keyboards which sounds amazing, and theyre not the first to do so. theyre the first to do so and actually sounds amazing lol

[doinky4ever]

if u search on Wikipedia the crystal castle u will see a castle that was from a TV show named She-ra

[fatalcoolfatalcool]

there are warp levels if you stand in various places and jump

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

Crystal Castles? this looks like a really fun game.

[Pulloo]

U SUCKS! but its looks pretty funny :).

[MKartWii]

thats not the original game. i have the original for the 7800. im thinking about uploading a tribute to the atari 7800 with some games. any suggestions?

[lmcgregoruk]

That is the original game....

Came out in the Arcade in 1983, released for the Atari 2600 in 1984, never released for 7800, although the 7800 could play the 2600 version.

[NonDisposableLove]

what does this have to do with Crystal Castles?!?

[ImmortalDestructor]

This game is called Crystal Castles.

[NonDisposableLove]

oh, i like the band, Crystal Castles, so i was like...wtf does this have to do w/ it? LOLOL.

xx

Shelly

[ImmortalDestructor]

Yeah I just discovered the band, I like what I've heard. I thought they got their name from this game, but apparently they were inspired by the Crystal Castle from the She-ra cartoon. Strange considering the band uses old-school video game sounds.

[NonDisposableLove]

yeah...i especially like the song 'xxzxczx me' its my fave from them.

[djmikedee]

The band got thier name from the game.

[ImmortalDestructor]

It's what I read in their Wikipedia article, and no one has altered that. What is your source?

[MethadonePretty111]

Safe! I want it!

[stormrider1988]

Does someone know where to download it? Or where you can play it online? Please help me... It was my favourite game on Atari ST.^^

[blicksflicks]

stormrider, that's true! Crystal Castles ROCKED! It was addictive!

[KiLLjap91]

[nucowa]

gawd. i remember playing this at the dentists office for YEARS. they had the arcade with the rollerball and everything it blew my mind.

[DBoyNasty]

[gandalf0987]

[slobone]

It all comes back to me now... wish I could play it again. But then again, maybe not.

[bluenote71]
