I saw that some people really liked this port. This morning, however, I was reading through my first ever topic on this site asking your top ten 2600 titles. It's very impressive for the system, yes, but I never liked the controls or hit detection on the video waf- I mean, gems. For me, it has always been a "you get an A for effort" kind of game. The 2600 port I played shortly after I first played the arcade game, also on Atari Anthology.
Anyone else know the warp in level one that nets you 140,000 points? We went back, and YEAH! High score still standing! Sadly I didn't snap a pic of the score itself, but I did take a picture of my initials on the first level. This was on the cab I found while staying at a hotel. I love the arcade game so much, I went and got the high score. I think have one, but maybe I'm thinking of someone else. Nevertheless, if it was cheaper I would totally pick it up. I don't know if the machine was broken, but the minuscule trak ball was puny, imprecise, and honestly horrible. I played it on an Arcade 1up machine in a game store in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. If I could get any arcade cabinet, Crystal Castles would be it. After playing the cab, I grew to love the game. Not that the analog stick is any better for Crystal Castles. Until I found the cabinet in person, I didn't even know it was a trak ball game. Little did I know that the reason I didn't like it was because of the D-Pad! I'm not a fan of analog sticks with old games, so I almost never use them. I played this "weird 3D Pac-Man clone" with a D-Pad at the time, and I'm not sure if I knew I could jump until later! I thought it was just okay. Here was a game I had never heard of surrounded by true classics: Centipede, Asteroids, Pong, Super Breakout, Tempest, and more. I fist played the arcade version of Crystal Castles around 2013 on the XBOX collection Atari Anthology. Today I was reacquainted with the Atari 2600 version of Crystal Castles using an online emulator.
