I just got a copy of Crystal Quest from Programs-Plus for $28. It's a pretty
neat game, runs on a Mac2 in color (or gray scale). It's basically an
enhanced version of Crystal Raider. New features are: good on-line help, you
can quit from it, colors, lots of bizarre (and some obnoxious) digitized
sounds, more bad things to kill you, smart bombs, and it keeps getting
tougher, so you can't play forever (a problem with Crystal Raider, once you
got past level 25 or so). The only problems I see are that it's not
Multifinder compatible, and it's copy protected such that you have to insert
the original disk to make it run... Bleah. Except for the copy protection,
I'd say it's a pretty good arcade type game.

Anyone know when Beyond Dark Castle will be out, and if it will run on a
Mac2?
