+Random Terrain Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 It's average 80's fantasy. I own it on DVD, but it's definitely not in my top 10 or anything. The music score it pretty snazzy though. Fake Trivia: The filmmakers originally hired Matthew Modine to play Colwyn, but after the first table-read, it became obvious that he didn't have enough of that clueless, wooden, white-bread, vanilla, deer in the headlights, bad '80s actor vibe that they were looking for, so they hired Ken Marshall.

FireTiger Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Just picked up a complete in box Krull- I really do like this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Krull is one of my fave 2600 games. It's so good I'd list it with over faves instead of just saying 'It's a great licensed game.' Love all the gameplay elements. There was a way I had learned about diagnols and jumping that made the spider room fun. Also, auto-fire every time I get on horse back and I never miss extra-lives etc. So even if the sunset robs me of the castle, I've most likely earned back the life I lost. Love the later levels of the first stage. Intense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn8k Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I had this game a few years ago. I want it back, this was one of the best 2600 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tron Unit Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Man I wish there was an arcade version for the 5200. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schuwalker Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Did you guys know there is a Krull pinball? Like the arcade it was made by Gottlieb. I would LOVE to own this! Unfortunately, only 9 (and it might be lower) still survive today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roryjr Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I've never seen the movie. I just checked and Netflix doesn't have it. I loved the 2600 game, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I've never seen the movie. I just checked and Netflix doesn't have it. I loved the 2600 game, though. You can find the full movie online pretty easily. Just Google, "Krull full movie." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, only 9 (and it might be lower) still survive today. Why so few? EDIT: Ah found the answer. Cost. They never went into production but they made 10 samples. Shame, it's such a cool looking machine. So 80's yet not cheesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly, a owner has one in the midwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have been playing thru my 2600 games, first time in years, and I saw that I own Krull. Never played it yet! Will try it out tomorrow night. I also don't think I ever saw the film, but played the coin-op Krull at Aladdin's Castle BITD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I also don't think I ever saw the film . . . It's worth watching if you like Hagrid and Liam Neeson. youtube.com/watch?v=DagmhnHWDLk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DagmhnHWDLk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulBlazer Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) I'm bumping this old thread because it's coming up next for Ferg's awesome 2600 game by game podcast and I thought he might find this of some help and/or interest. Still love this game, so I'll be submitting a long feedback for this one for sure! I had forgotten a pinball game was prototyped. I hope the pinball place in Las Vegas gets one.

If you're referring to the Pinball Hall of Fame, I know at one time Tim (owner) had a Gottlieb Krull. I'm not sure presently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-in-NJ Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Bought it new and loved it, but only on the easiest version, because I could never get past the spider room on any other variation, no matter how hard I tried. I also managed to extend the opening level for as long as I wanted (most of the time.) Must dig it out and give it a spin or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20ohm20 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I played Krull for the first time last night in about 10 years. I don't remember it being so difficult. I believe this (and Battlezone) were the last Atari 2600 games I bought before it got put away and remained boxed up until the mid-90's.
