I just bought Crystal Castles for the ST, and wonder of wonders, it works in MONOCHROME TOO !!! It looks pretty good in B&W, much better than I thought it would. It is VERY close the arcade game, and plays well with the mouse (you can also play with a joystick) I wish more companies would take the extra time to get their products running under monochrome as well as colour... By the way, it looks good in colour too :-) Cheers, David Rowley Looking Glass Software

We're glad you like the game. (By the way, I simply _cannot_ play it with a mouse. I die instantly. I do much better with a joystick...) -- --alex @ Atari {sun,lll-lcc,imagen}!atari!dyer BIX: alexl.

I haven't seen Crystal Castles, but from what I hear the mouse/joystick
option is very nice. I really like Michtron's Major Motion but it only
works with the mouse and I'm destroying the mouse by playing. One guy wore
the feet totally off the mouse because he had 6 kids who played it
continually. Does anyone know anything (Alex?) about the possibility of
using one of the optical mouse systems (by MouseSystems or others) with the
ST? I've used them with the IBM's and they seem much more durable and much
smoother. One would need to get a different connector, but is it possible
to do so easily? Thanks . . .

I just had a go at Crystal Castles at a friend of mine, and I think it's *horrible* with a mouse. To me, at least, the moves are totally counter-intuitive. The same is true for Bratacas (sp?), by the way. Note that I really like the game, except for this. If more games like this come out, I might even be tempted to buy a joystick... -- Jack Jansen, jack@cwi.nl (or jack@mcvax.uucp) The shell is my oyster.
