Crystal Cave Classic Review

Deep in the sweltering heat of the dense jungles, an explorer parachutes out of a small airplane and lands near an ancient ruin. He catapults himself down a dark, deep recess where he sees in the unilluminated room a glimmer of light. Upon closer inspection he finds the largest emerald he’s ever seen sitting atop a giant stone altar….

You are now in the deepest inner sanctums of what looks like an Egyptian tomb full of precious crystals. In Crystal Cave Classic you are to dig, climb, push your way towards the crystals without being attacked by monsters or crushed by giant boulders. There are breakable walls hindering your passageway but you can put a boulder or something through it or use it to your benefit. Also available for your use are dynamite barrels situated conveniently throughout the tomb. The boulders as well as the glass blocks can be maneuvered so you can travel over them. You will also come across elevators where when you push an object on it, it will take you to another level. The eight ball and the flip tile are very useful in obtaining the elusive gems.

Crystal Cave Classic, not overly hard at first, becomes more challenging as the levels increase, but with the difficult levels there are interesting new obstacles and monsters to conquer. This logic puzzle changes in each chapter to reveal fun creatures and mindboggling barriers. Your job is to figure out how to get to the jewel without being attacked by the monster similar to Theseus and the Minotaur but without the fear factor. The monsters in Crystal Cave Classic are almost cute and funny looking even when you are attacked by one. The graphics and the short movie at the beginning are very good, but I am a little confused whether the jungles and ruins are Mayan or Egyptian. The interior hierglyphs are definitely Egyptian but the exterior pyramid looked Mayan. In any event, this puzzle is a lot of fun for all ages especially with their clear explanation of how to use objects to get to the precious treasure.
