White Crystal

White Crystal is a 1-player arcade game for the Dragon 32/64.

On another world 10,000 years before mankind existed, there lived a race of gentle wizards known as the Karn. This world was rich with nature and enlightenment, the power for which came from the Great White Crystal. But, darkness came to the land in the form of the Scard Lord of Night. He transformed the crystal from white to black, and enslaved the world for 1,000 years. The player is the last of the Karn, and it is their quest to climb the tower, find the crystal sword, and strike the black crystal to free the land from Scard's power.

The player controls a wizard that moves laterally, and can climb up and down ladders. The goal is to climb higher in the tower. The Scard Lord appears randomly, and fires to the left and right. They must avoid other dangers including spiders. The player must pick up food, and if they run out of energy they will die. The player picks up a sword at the bottom of the tower, but this can only be used on the White Crystal. If the wizard gets hit, it's game over.
