LGR - The Kristal - DOS PC Game Review

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Cinemaware was known for its excellent multi-genre computer games in the 80's, based on classic movies and TV shows. The Kristal was not one of them Soitisisit: Honestly? It doesn't look that bad. I guess this is one of those things where the gameplay really kills it. And well, that does happen. It looks pretty funny and campy and the graphics seem quite excellent really. Too bad it's not actually that much fun apparently. Maybe it'd be well suited to a reboot if someone felt up to doing so? Or just some sort of hack or patch.

I was given this game in the 90's by someone who didn't want it any more - I never really got anywhere with it. I do seem to remember solving the mystery of what -Flow- was, and why everyone kept telling me to -Go with the flow-. Some shady character somewhere offered to sell me some -Flow-, leading me to believe that it was some kind of narcotic that everyone was on.

hi LGR, great video clarifying another mystery from Dos era. Can you make a review for an old western game named -Colorado-? I am sure you know that game. It was interesting and hard to understand when I was a kid. still don't know what the main objectives were. You would do a great favor for your fans, dude.

it's like a real early version of a game called Laser Lords for the cd-i. both are side-scrolling sci fi adventure games with weird senses of humor and mediocre -action- sequences. wonder if there was some crossover between dev teams or if the people that made laser lords were just fans of this.

I'm so glad that point and click adventure games switched to just using the 'talk to' action and gave you a list of options you could ask.
Trying to think of what to write was just waay too confusing back when I was a child.
I liked the idea, but the gameplay was rather difficult.

Just looking at this game made me go -I bet this was originally designed for Amiga- and sure enough, it was. It's just got that. British designed Amiga feel. It's hard to explain but it just reeks of the design language of the Amiga and Atari ST in Britain in the late 80s.

This is the oddest VGA color scheme I've seen. It reminds me of the Tandy 16 color scheme with some EGA mixed in. It definitely isn't 320x200 at 256 colors (or it didn't take advantage of the 256 colors or resolution. Was it just an EGA mode that was ported to VGA?

You think _American_ consumers get belittling and condescending packaging? Look at German movie title translations, and you will feel proud of that little bit of cheese in your box art. We have to endure much higher levels of cringe on a daily basis.

-Galagher wearing a homo-erotic wolverine costume. -
I laughed so hard I had to pause the video to gather my shit.
By the time you referred to him as -Wolvergalagher-, I'd completely lost it.
Thanks for the laughs, LGR!

Got damn, must have been rough back in the day having to play a game on 6 disks. Worst I ever had it was my original copy of Baldur's Gate, which I think was --only-- 5 disks. Having to switch disks mid game is just a draaaaag.
