Man I can't thank you enough! This was my first video game too! I had an old hand me down computer from my dad that took a 5 1/4 floppy disk and this game was on that computer. I remember playing this game for hours, but one day our house got broken into and my computer was stolen (this was in 1998, nobody in my family could remember the name of the game! For over 20 years I have been trying to remember the name if this game and just happen to come across this video! I can't wait to play this game again! Just watching the game play brought back so many emotions. My dad passed away in 2017 but this has definitely triggered some emotions. Thank you man!

VeeGer is a reference to V'Ger from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, while the Badlands Triangle is a reference to the Badlands, a region of space known for various plasma storms and is the hideout for the Maquis from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
19: 35 -Quadcorder- references the -tricorder-, -turboelevator- is a reference to the -turbolift-.
19: 43 references Star Trek: Voyager.
Yes, I'm THAT much of a Trekkie. --

I hope they didn't just record the sound effects. Real-time synthesis would be so much cooler. Not to mention capable of higher sample-rates. And yes, it's definitely possible. I cobbled together a PureData patch that does the job. Just draw the inverse-frequencies into an array. Sounds pretty authentic if you overlook the fact the headphones I use have way more bass than an actual PC Speaker.

This is great! I had no idea Apogee was still around, I used to play whacky wheels and a couple other games of theirs quite a bit. I haven't heard of this one before, though. I'm really digging the NES tunes, although they're mixing platforms here. Anyways, I bought the game before even finishing the video and it'll be my first game to try on my first 1440p monitor that just arrived today! :)

Hey LGR. Please make new series 'best pc for gaming in 1998/2000/2002/2004/. '. I have many cd's with old games (like Baldur's Gate 1, I am not able to run them on W10 and I don't remember what old pc should I look for that. The best idea is to make videos about 'making windows 98/xp virtualized pc's for gaming on new pc's' but I know it's wide and complicated subject

I grew up with Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure. Also available on steam. I noticed that Crystal Caves and Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure look very similar in some of the older levels and might actually have shared a few sprites and animations. Some of the sound effects are almost identical. I think you might like to have a look at Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure. -LGR

Does it have audio files you can make fm synthesis versions of and swap or is it all restricted so you can't access it? Requiring steam is the only disappointing thing I see unless there's a non steam version.
There's also a crystal dick and balls at the bottom right corner of the title screen, that's an awesome and funny thing to have.

The game wasn-t silent - you had the sounds of the pc itself as background noise, be it the whirl of the fans and the distinct sound of your hard drive spinning away. To me, that is the ambiance I remember most when I played this game in the 90-s. And to be honest it seems to fit well when on the main level map of the game for some reason.

I remember the first game I ever played, I think it was Hard Hat Mack. That game sucked, but this game looks pretty good. I think I may just pick this one up. I bought both Jazz Jackrabbit games on a whim and I was surprised to find out how much I liked Jazz 1. Crystal Caves seems to hit all the right notes to what I'd like.
