Hi-Res Adventure #6: The Dark Crystal

Title screen.

The game begins with Jen sitting in the Valley of the Stones.

Ursu is dying!

Impressive shadows here...

Yeah, Ursu really doesn't look too well.

Fell down into a forest.

A babbling brook may babble interesting things if only you listen...

This rock bears a secret.

A big swamp.

Captured! What's this? A hand holding an eye?!

Hmmm... which one is it?

Attacked by Garthims. RUN!!

The crucial moment were Jen meets Kira, another Gelfling. Could it be love?

Paddlin' through the swamps.

The Apopiapoipidiappididiapipoh, or Pod People for short, like merry-making.

The Garthims don't like merry-making.

Luckily, the village is only partially destroyed.

Watching TV can be instructive.

These landstriders really look strange.

A chasm blocks further progress.

Riding through a desert.

Garthims, again! Have they nothing else to do!?

Kira has wings. Jen hasn't.

An impressive face. Or maybe... a door?

Sneaking through a labyrinth.

Oh no! The evil Chamberlain grabs Kira and Fizzgig!

Alone now, confronting a horde of Garthim. I guess they don't want to play ping-pong.

Hope you're not acrophobic.

I've freed Aughra, and what does she do? Scolding me!

Hmm... which door shall we take?

Some feasting skeksis. Eavesdropping may be rewarding.

Some more tunnel-crawlin'.

Finally, the crystal!

It's high time! The suns are converging!

One last thing to do here...

Hi-Res Adventure #6

The title screen

The game begins here

A mountainside; anything useful here?

Looks like I've found stonehenge...

I'm entering a dimly lit cave...

There's quite a few paths to follow and locations to visit

Listening to see if the brook has anything to say

Visiting Ursu the mystic

Lost in a swamp with cystal bats flying overhead...

Stuck in a swamp; could use some help here!

Examining a shell

Floating down river on a shell

One of many mysterious characters in the game

That crystal bat appears all over the place

Uh oh, it's an attack!

Hmm, I wonder where this east-west path will take me...

Ride these tall creatures across all sorts of terrain

Wouldn't be an adventure game without an underground maze to get lost in

Uh oh, footsteps approaching!

Now this is one heck of a predicament...

Strange creatures watch your every move

Oops, a wrong turn; looks like evil won and I lost...
