Classic Game Room HD - CRYSTAL CASTLES for Atari 2600 review

Classic Game Room HD is a new member of the Classic Game Room family. A more relaxed, subdued show about classic video games from the past 30 years.

In Crysal Castles you are Bentley Bear, a bear on a mission, a mission to collect crystals from the floors of castles and dodge walking trees. This kids game from the 1980's for the Atari 2600 is far from being a classic, yet it is an interesting look at a unique take on a Pac Man style.

Frankly, I just want to know what Bentley is picking up from the floor and what he's doing with them.

Be sure to watch the original Classic Game Room episodes. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD.

This game was so much better in the Arcade

@Bouncer9000 Everything was better in the arcade back then ;) Unless you had an Amiga or something.

I would dare say that if this were only fun for kids that Pac-Man would also only be fun for kids. I rather like this game.

[JogBird]

the intro is way too long

[OmizaruHaven]

sounds like one of their songs to me haha

Alice and Ethan actually had no idea this game existed until told in an interview. lol

[Tamanozke]

If that rock music was actually in the game, it would be the best 2600 game ever.

Have to say this isn't one of Mark's better reviews. Was he in a hurry while doing this one? No history of the game, no comparisons with other versions. It's okay to review a game with "I don't like it", I just expect more from Mark.

[AGEofURANUS]

is this what the band is based on?

[RalphInRalphWorld]

I actually prefer the arcade version. :)
