Crystal Castles

The youngest of Atari's new releases - a mere four years old - casts the player in the role of Bentley Bear on his quest to collect jewels. These are scattered across a series of 3D-forced perspective mazes of ladders, ramps and elevators.

Each screen is inhabited by a variety of creatures which maraud around and are fatal to touch - although there is a magic hat which gives temporary invincibility.

Although this conversion is a little rough around the edges, it has all the features and gameplay of the origina, and is therefore highly enjoyable. Whether or not it's worth £15 entirely depends on how much you liked the arcade game.
