Citadel BBC B Crystal Locations

The locations of 3 of the harder to find crystals in Superior Software's 1985 game 'Citadel'. You will see how to find the crystals in 'Witch's House', 'The Lab' and 'The Pyramid'. It also shows how to gain an extra 40 energy points by taking the blue blocks to 'Stonehenge'. I had hoped to show the other 2 crystals in 'Central Castle' and the room above the starting location, but my BBC started to smoke due to a known power supply transformer capacitor problem and it is no more. This is my 2nd BBC to do this in a year and I have decided to call it a day. This happened after 2 hours of use and I now fear that their shelf life is coming to an end. I hope it will rekindle some nostalgic memories for those who played the game over 20 years ago and who did not quite complete it at the time. Enjoy!

@dariusb23 I agree, there is a lot of atmosphere in Citadel. Definately in the top 3 BBC games and a fine example of cramming a complex game into a tiny RAM. Long live the BBC Micro.

Great video. You probably know this, but you can repair/refurbish your power supply with a few capacitors and a transistor. Kits are available, it'll give your Beeb a new lease of life.

this game is really creepy looking. amazing in that it was made on a very limited platform with limited colours and sound. but its very very creepy. even being 29 years old now i still notice it
