Crystalis NES Rpg – Classic CIB Spotlight

Posted by Joe in Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)Apr 16th, 2009 | No Comments

Crystalis NES game

Crystalis was SNK's top-down action rpg entry for 1990. It sported advanced graphics and a nicely orchestrated soundtrack for the time period. Crystalis was generally well received by critics and gamers as a solid NES game. It has a Legend of Zelda type feel to the game play as you advance screen to screen and engage in repetitive swordplay with various badies. Crystalis was later re-released on the Gameboy Color handheld in 2000. You can pick up a loose Crystalis NES cart for around 5 bucks on ebay and the gameboy version is going for $10ish. A notable milestone in the NES action rpg category and worth a spot in your NES collection. (more...)
