Crystal Caves download

Crystal Caves 1 is a platform video game developed and published by Apogee Software, who also developed Duke Nukem, for the DOS. Crystal Caves is apparently another sidescrolling platform game that wanted to compete with Commander Keen, which was superior to this game. Now don't misunderstand me. This is indeed a great platform game and at some point challenging as well. The story is simple: Mylo Steamwitz, an enterprising space trader, has set out to the perilous mines of the Altairian system. He hopes to collect enough crystals to start a profitable twibble farm. The game consists of 16 levels, each with the same objective: collecting all the crystals. There is no linear path to take, so you can complete the levels in any order you wish. After selecting you level, you have to collect all the crystals found in the respective level. The controls are simple: move, jump and attack. There are various monsters that stand in your way, however you must be conservative with your ammo, because it's not unlimited. Getting to some crystals also require activating switches, which will either open doors or activate moving platforms. Overall, Crystal Caves 1 is a fun game for the DOS and any platformer fan will enjoy it.
