'''The Dark Crystal''' is the sixth of Sierra's "High Res Adventures".  It is a game closely based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Crystal The Dark Crystal], Jim Henson's film of the same name. You play as Jen, the last survivor of the Gelfings, 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 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.


This game was rereleased as [[The Gelfling Adventure]], with an improved interface that used remnants of code that would eventually become Sierra's [[AGI]] engine.
A year after the original release, '''The Gelfling Adventure''', a remake of ''The Dark Crystal'' 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]].


A playable online recreation of the game was released by The Jim Henson Company on [http://www.darkcrystal.com/play/ darkcrystal.com] in 2013.
