Pardon my excitement, Krull as cheese laden as it is... is prob my Favorite move of all time (nostalgia drunk but still)

 

The game on 2600 is one of, if not The earliest video game memory i have.. tied if not a close second behind Wizards of Wor on C64

 

 

I jumped on this copy, the only sealed game i own... how does it look? what would you say is the current value for something like this? just to ease the blow in explaining to the wife..lol

I have always like the movie, but I have not played the game a whole lot. Krull was a favorite long before Star Trek: Deep Space Nine came on and I watched that all the time. It wasn't until recently that I realized Ken Marshall (Colwyn) played Lt. Commander Eddington in Deep Space Nine. That really blew my mind that I never caught that.

And a young and unknown, a mostly still unknown, Robbie Coltrane.

I really think Krull is a decent game on it's own, but being a fan of the movie helps.

 

As far as Robbie, He's been in a quite a few different films and TV shows. Of course the youngsters know him from Harry Potter. Being a fan of British TV, I was very happy with his performance in "Blackadder's Christmas Carol".

I figured he would be better known to Brits. He was also in the Pierce Brosnan Bond movies.

Doesn't the game keep going even if you lose all your glaives? I remember being frustrated cause the monster got all my glaives so I had no means of attack and had to reset the game.

 

If you lose your glaives you can exit the castle and go back to the spider cave to pick up more glaives along the way. Exit the castle by moving to the bottom right corner of the screen.

 

I recently frankensteined a copy - I got the cart for $10, and the box + manual still with the plastic for $12. Fantastic game.

I absolutely loved this game, and had no idea it even existed until I saw it on a K*Bees clearance table for $5. At first I was sad it wasn't a port of the arcade (which I loved) but then found it was totally unique and had so many different screens I loved it immediately.

One of my favorite 2600 games. I had played the game before I saw the movie, but the movie does enhance your enjoyment of the game. Hell, I even got Ferg to enjoy the game thanks to that! :lol:

 

I also think Krull is the 2600 game that MOST follows the movie.

 

No idea why my parents got it for me at the time...I was only 7 in 1983....but one of my best childhood games.

 

The movie is cheesy for sure, but it's not a horrible movie. I have it on DVD and pull it about once a year to watch it.

 

Much better then the arcade game. That's not fun at all.
