Epic. The first Dark Souls
I think I played Crystal Caves when I was 5 or 6 years old, along with Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, etc. It is a simple platform game, a jump'n'run, where the goal is to find all the crystals in each level, along with your blaster to protect yourself against monsters (snakes, robots, dinosaurs, one-eyed-things, two-eyed things with a big mouth, falling rocks, snakes whose carcasses take 1 HP etc. Some monsters have to be approached very carefully, and with planning. An that is about it, roughly. The mines are a hub, from which you access different caves, and this is where you save your progress. CC1 I remember very vividly, the levels are saved in my 5/6-year-old's mind, and I beat it quickly after I bought the game. CC2 and 3, however, are very tough as I am playing them for the first time. It seems the developers went wild, and thought how to make each level as hard as possible. The fun is not that big as with the first one, although I still like it. You just have to "git gud". I'll finish with a summary. If you: A) love pixels, and want to play old games, and witness gaming history B) want to show your children how games were back in the day C) want to have fun and challenge yourself get Crystal Caves. And with time, get good at playing it.
Is this helpful to you?
