The California Crystal Castle Republic Flag - Atari's 1983 Arcade Classic Meets Makes California History Today


Here we have another fun California flag that is based upon Atari's 1983 arcade classic Crystal Castle.  In this fairy tale like adventure, which has yet to make a Shrek appearance, you use a trackball "TARK-BALL" to move Bentley Bear across the screen to collect crystals.

Basically an evolved version of Pac-Man, instead of dots, crystals are the McGuffin.  Likewise a magic hat give you revenge power on the enemies for a limited time.  However you can jump, and get the centipede like gem eaters if they are in the process of eating the crystals.  The only thing it was missing was animated cut scenes of Bentley Bear fussing with the trees, bees, witches, and giant crystal eating centipedes.
