Yes, Crystal Castles. I know, most of you are thinking, "Crystal Castles, a grail??!!??" For me- YES! This was the first game I ever played in the arcades BITD- it's the game that started it all for me.

I want to thank Darryl (dj dns) again for bringing this game up for me. It was great to finally meet you man- safe travels back! Darryl is a class act and a man of his word- a great seller/person indeed.

OK, now for pics:

Plugged in and played a couple games.

Woot I think I want one of those. I need a few more raster games and that game is fun :)
 
Congrats on your grail, everyone has their personal grail and it doesn't change the feeling you get when you finally get it! Enjoy it now, there's nothing like the feeling of playing a personal grail when takes you back to the "good old days"..
 
Congrats, Jon! I seem to remember you've been looking for that game for a long time. It's on my 'want' list too, hopefully I can find one as nice as that.
 
I love my Crystal Castles. Its an underrated game, has beautiful artwork, one of the cooler trackball games, and has some of the first 3D graphics of its time. Kudos on your pickup.
 
Nice looking game, always good to hear grail stories. DJ DNS is one of the Knights of the Crusade, delivering grails and shit.
 
nice!!! i always wanted a crystal castles too...on a side note i just bought a grail of mine from Darryl also, a nice ms pacman cocktail
 
Thanks guys! I've been actively searching for a nice one for about 2 years. But before I got into this hobby, I would search ebay every now and then for one. I had always wanted one.

This morning on the way to work, I walked downstairs and stood there for about 3 minutes just looking at it! :cool:
 
Congrats! That had to feel good when DJ showed up. Perhaps one day I will meet the Crusader!
Perhaps, as well, I will get the opportunity to play your grail, as I have yet to play that title.

:)

+100 Jon: A grail is a grail. Be proud of it. That is a beauty and I too have searched for this game, for the same reasons as you listed! Very nice addition to the arcade. One of the few games you can "beat" too! Good luck finishing it!


I also want to say that Darryl is a stand up guy. Many multiple purchases with him and he comes through every time, with exact descriptions. Nice to deal with good folks here in the land of KLOV.

Thanks Jeff- you can play the CC when you deliver your Multi Williams ;)

I can get to level 9 with regularity, but never finished it!
