There are not many totally graphic adventures about so I viewed this one with interest.

White Crystal is a great adventure game that really does make good use of the capabilities of the Dragon. The program starts with a melodic theme tune and a colourful title page.

The instructions are detailed but do not explain to you what really is in store as you start your quest for the fabled crystal.

You control a walking stick man and must travel around the screen trying to collect food, treasures and the vital sword.

There is the evil Scard with his powerful laser, which you must avoid or you receive the punishment of hearing the funeral dirge played out of tune by your Dragon.

Climbing up the very top ladder on the screen will take you to a new, different screen with new perils to overcome.

If this game had been written in machine code and could run a little faster, then I would call it an arcade game - the graphics and the action are that good.

I have yet to succeed in getting the white crystal and expect to be playing this game for quite some time. Recommended.
