Crystal Quest

Crystal Quest is a very simple game and at one point you might well sit back and think 'is this all it is'. However, after a few attempts and ever increasing progress and high scores, all such thoughts will be wiped. The aim is to collect all the crystals on the screen and then return home through the gate at the bottom of the screen. The playing area throughout the game is a basic rectangle. There are a few mines and enemies to avoid/shoot and doesn't get more complicated than that. It may all sound rather boring but it does mean that loading times are non-existent and game speed is fast. As you play through the game, there is a variety of different enemies each with their own characteristics. Some will gently plod around the screen while others will home straight at you. Shoot them and you might find lethal shrapnel making its way to your ship.
