Stop me if you've heard this one, but there was this guy running round inside a maze, trying to gather treasure but being chased by all sorts of nasty creatures. What? You have heard it before? Well, here it is again!

To be fair, Krystals Of Zong is one of the better maze chase games around. There are eight levels, each with nine rooms infested by snakes, bats, spiders and mummies. The treasure is locked in central compartments accessed only by keys which must be collected from the various rooms. There are also swords which temporarily give you the power to off your pursuers.

Surprisingly, some of this treasure is actually useful. There are potions to teleport you to other rooms or make you invisible to the nasties, boots to help you run faster (vital because this game is slow), powerful swords and more. It almost makes the hassle to get them worthwhile.

As said, the action is slow and the graphics are nothing to scream about, but there are several little touches that make the game fun. These include the music and a cute little sequence whenever you get caught by a creature.

You can't judge a book by its cover so don't judge Krystals Of Zong by its theme. You might be pleasantly surprised.
