This website has been
created to honour Apogee Software's Crystal Caves PC
adventure game - an old game, but certainly not a
forgotten one.
Crystal Caves consists of three 'episodes', in which Mylo
Steamwitz - the luckless miner and protagonist of the
games - explores the perilous Crystal Caves of Altair in
search of crystals which he can then trade at the
Galactic Trading Post for cash to fund his money-making
schemes.
Crystal Caves was originally released on October 23, 1991
by Apogee Software, which means on October 23, 2006
Crystal Caves will be 15 years old!
The 24th of October, 2005 saw a new patch released for
Crystal Caves with the purpose of fixing a potentially
dangerous bug found in the game when running under
Windows XP. This puts Crystal Caves in the running for
the game with the longest period of time between the
release of the game and the release of a patch for the
game. Crystal Caves is now at Version 1.0a. The patch can
be obtained at the Downloads
page.
In 2005, Crystal Caves fans were also treated to what was
possibly the first Crystal Caves interview ever. Perilous
Crystal Caves had the honour of asking the game's author,
Frank Maddin, a series of mostly Crystal Caves related
questions, put forth from Crystal Caves fans across the
internet. Read what Frank has to say in the Frank
Maddin Interview.
It is my hope that this website does justice to everyone
with fond memories of playing Crystal Caves, as well as
those just discovering the game.
Latest Update: July 5, 2011: Not dead yet.
So, it's been a little while since my last update. Life gets in the way of Crystal Caves love, unfortunately.
Nothing too major to report in this post, although you might have noticed a domain name change. We've moved from Toxicsheep.net to
Rewound.net. Grafix is still graciously hosting PCCW and was nice enough to promptly provide me with some login details when it occured
to me that I haden't done anything to this website in the past 5 years. The last update was on July 3 of 2006. It's now July 5 of 2011
(in case you didn't know).
I know this was promised back in 2006, but I do plan to fix this website up. I had honestly thought it might have fallen into decay (somehow...) in my absence, though I am pleased to see that it's still relatively functional. A few external links don't work, but that's easily fixed.
