About the game
Dating from 1993, CryptoQuest for Apple II is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the 16-bit golden age.
the 16-bit golden age was a period of rapid change for the medium: bigger sprites, richer sound and fierce console rivalries pushed 2D craft to its peak. Placing CryptoQuest in that timeline shows where it sat as the industry evolved.
