After just watching the new video of Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest I thought it would be nice to look at his very first video game outing:

I can't believe that I forgot to add this video!  I have always really liked this game and I was quite impressed with what Atari accomplished on the 2600!

The ST version is really nice but the main sprite looks nothing like Bentley!  :-

This takes me back a good few years.Not seen since i had on the 2600, used to love it, though at that age had no idea it was an arcade conversion.

CPC versions sound FX are awful!.Sounds like somethings interfering with TV channel.

I played the Nintendo DS version yesterday, really good. I loved the way you can use the joypad or turn the touch screen into a virtual trackball. The Atari 2600 version of the game is on the same compilation too.  8)

The Classics just seem to hold up no matter how much time goes by 8)

Zzap gave the C64 budget/Kixx re-release Overall 65% 'simple, uncomplicated fun, which is well worth buying on budget', so i thought score was tad harsh.
