Description

"Krull" is a video game for the Atari 2600 console, based on the 1983 science fiction film of the same name. Developed and published by Atari, Inc., the game captures the fantastical elements of its cinematic counterpart, blending adventure with action in a unique setting. The player's objective is to journey through various levels that mirror key plot elements of the movie. These include navigating through a treacherous landscape filled with enemies, rescuing Princess Lyssa, and ultimately confronting the Beast in his fortress to restore peace to the planet of Krull. Each level offers distinct gameplay mechanics, ranging from riding a horse to dodge hazards, to a strategic segment where the player must tactically deploy troops.

"Krull" features a mix of gameplay styles, including top-view adventure and side-scrolling segments, making it unique among Atari 2600 titles when it was released in 1983. The game was notable for its attempt to integrate diverse forms of gameplay, reflecting the multifaceted nature of the film’s storyline. The game leveraged the Atari 2600’s capabilities with colorful graphics and smoother animations than usual for the time. Despite its innovative approach and alignment with a major movie release, "Krull" did not perform strongly in the market, likely due to the poor box office performance of the film and the beginning of the video game market crash in late 1983. However, it has since gained a cult following among classic game collectors and aficionados of the Atari era.
