knowing i'm such a mark for crystal casles, who here finished it?? i get to the last screen and then throw the game. i'm afraid if i finish it it will lose the mystique of the game. i've had a change of heart, i might actually finish it this weekend...........
 
I haven't come close yet. I only know where the 2 warps are near the beginning. After that, it's really tough. Still have LOTS of practicing to do on it! Love that game though.
 
I can get to level 9, usually with a few runs, building up to level 8-1.

You can warp to the first screen of the level where you completed a screen from the last game. Does that make sense? Like if you complete screen 2 of level 7, then on the next game, you can warp to the first screen of level 7.
If you warp to 7 and can't complete the first screen, then the warp level for the next game is 6 (screen 1).

I could probably complete it one day, but my play always looks scrambled and unrefined. You should see some of those pros play it. Here is a good page with lots of info:

I'm the same way- I'm all over the place, but it gets the job done (until level 8 or 9 :D). Those guys rock- I will never be that good, therefore I don't worry about losing my interest. Also, since I don't have a dedicated machine and play it on MAME- it's just not the same... SOMEONE SELL ME A CRYSTAL CASTLES for F's SAKE! :D
 
Those damn trees are the worst in the later levels. Using the warps I've been up to about level 8, but that's it.
 
I have beaten the game about 3 or 4 times. I had an upright in my bedroom years ago(in my early to mid 20's). I would warp to level 8 and play from there. If I had less than 2 extra men, I would get killed before finishing the last board. Level 9 nasty tree is a mother. Since I have beaten the game, I haven't lost interest in it. If finishing the game gets easier, just look for ways to get a higher score. That's all people did before games had an end anyway. Sold my upright years ago and recently got a cocktail. I haven't gotten past the the second or third board on level 9 since I got it.
