I was obsessed with this game in the arcades when I was younger. All the secret passages and exits...I have always regretted this is the one game I can't effectively play in any way in my home because I don't have a proper trackball. I even looked over the years for one, but they either were waaay too expensive or simply didn't work like the arcade one, which you could really put a free spin on, and was super-sensitive. :( I do have the game on a compilation disk but it's just not the same with a joypad. _AAAHHH THE BEES! NO NOT THE BEES! THEY'RE STINGING MY EYES!_

I agree with you. I used to play this, captain silver and karate champ when I was a kid at the arcades. Loved this game too and isnt the same without the trackerball. Got it on the switch. I can use the D pad and the thumb stick. The D pad is accurate but too slow, the thumb sick is faster but not accurate. The trackerball was fast and accurate. Shame. Unless I can buy a tracker ball for the switch? I doubt it
@KP-rm6dn9 ай бұрын
Trackball is a must. But yes, you need aracade type, like from hap (if i recall right). Mouse type trackballs do not work, u gotta move with force. Ive been able to get pretty good scores using a mouse, which i accelerate a lot, but accuracy isn't great.

Funny that this game had an ending at all. Most early to mind 1980's arcade games just looped or recycled levels but were harder. This is a fun one, didn't know the bear had a name, Bentley the Bear. Somehow that doesn't fit. It's kinda amazing that an upgraded version to game hasn't been made or a sequel to the game wasn't produced. I don't remember too many people playing this game in the arcades I went to but that same could be said of Pac-man, Galaga, Q-bert and the like but I wasn't a teen in the early 1980's. When this game first came out, I bet a lot of people played it but my perspective of arcades comes from my remembrance of around 1985-ish. By 1985/6, a lot more advanced arcade games were out and Crystal Castles was relegated to the back areas of the arcades I frequented, where there was never a crowd.

@leroyvisiongames2294 Жыл бұрын
I mean, some earlier games (such as Konami’s Scramble) gave you a congratulations screen but the game would just continue on after that at a higher difficulty. Also Atari’s Superman was technically the earliest game to have a definitive end where the game is actually over afterwards, but Crystal Castles was the first *arcade* game to do that (console games and arcade games have always kinda had their differences, and they most likely started putting endings in arcade games too because skilled gamers could play for an entire day or even more on one quarter in games that didn’t end (such as Pac-Man or Donkey Kong), potentially hurting profits made by the game.
