Knights of the Crystallion is a 1990 computer game for the Amiga developed by Bill Williams and published by U.S. Gold.[1] A fantasy-themed adventure game comprising a mix of sub-games with a puzzle element, the game made extensive use of the Amiga computer's Hold-And-Modify (HAM) graphics mode.[2]
Psygnosis was offered the game before U.S. Gold, but turned it down for being too weird.[3]
Development
Bill Williams, the developer of the game, stated that he "threw most of [his] soul into" the game's development and that he considered the game to be his "epic" and "masterpiece."[4]}}
Reception
Amiga Format wrote, "the hypnotic quality will keep you playing for hours at a time," and gave an overall score of 91%.[2]
In 2018, BoingBoing called Knights of the Crystallion "the wonderfully weird and impenetrable magnum opus of legendary game designer Bill Williams, which baffled Amiga owners."[3]
