'''The Dark Crystal''', marketed as '''Hi-Res Adventure #6: The Dark Crystal''', is a text adventure game with graphics, closely based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Crystal Jim Henson's film of the same name]. You play as Jen, the last survivor of the Gelflings, a race of mole-like people of a distant world. You must find the dark crystal and its broken shard, and repair it to end the reign of evil from the land. The original release used the [[ADL]] engine. | |||
A year after the original release, '''The Gelfling Adventure''', a remake with simplified puzzles and a simplified interface over the original, was released. This game used the [[AGI|Pre-AGI]] engine, and was intended for a younger audience. ''The Gelfling Adventure'' was Sierra's last adventure game before the groundbreaking [[King's Quest]]. | |||
