Connect2Media, the recently formed multi-platform entertainment company is all set to deliver the retro favourite Crystal Quest for mobile phones. Coming straight from everyone’s favourite 80’s decade, the classic title features updated graphics and completely new attributes for the mobile. Gamers can enjoy an intense adrenalin-boiling arcade action with a distinct blend of therapeutic pleasure.
Eric Hobson, Managing Director of Connect2Media, mentioned, “It’s a true pleasure for us to re-release this beloved title that so many gaming fans have memories of enjoying over the years. Crystal Quest is a mega selling classic 20 years in the making; we know it will be a hit with casual gamers and hard-core fans alike”
“Good old-fashioned arcade games are making a comeback because they are still just as fun as they were 25 years ago. The idea for the game came from a simple observation that people like to clean things up. Present them with a chaotic playfield and build the game around erasing it. There’s something built into us all that makes this enjoyable. Crystal Quest wasn’t the first game to feature such an experience, but it’s probably the first game that was blatantly built around it,” remarked veteran developer Patrick Buckland.
The fan favourite Crystal Quest debuted in 1987 on the McIntosh and was immensely successful on release. With a progressively growing audience over the years, the game is one of the rare classics in Apple’s line of games.
Based on the updated Xbox Live Arcade and Windows Vista versions, the mobile version of Crystal Quest is characterized by a retro gameplay and updated graphics. Players will certainly get hooked on to it as it ensures a unique gaming experience with its sophisticated interface and enhanced special effects. The gameplay involves the players collecting enough crystals to open a gateway that advances them to the next level.
Presently the game is live only on select carriers and the coming weeks should see the launch of Crystal Quest on additional global carriers.
