Hands-On Mobile today announced that one of the 1980's favorite games, Crystal Quest, is now available for iPhone and iPod touch from the Apple App Store. Crystal Quest made its first appearance on the Macintosh in 1987, and has progressively grown its fan base throughout the years.  Delivering a unique combination of therapeutic enjoyment and arcade action, the player's objective is to collect enough crystals to open a gateway to advance to the next level.

First created by veteran game developer Patrick Buckland, Crystal Quest is a mega-selling classic 20 years in the making. This space shooter game features updated graphics with retro gameplay requiring players to pilot a ship through wave after wave of action, collecting crystals and evading the Nasties, unique enemies that emerge from portals on each side of the screen. Fire your weapon at them, or deploy a smart bomb to vaporize every Nasty on the screen. Collect all the crystals to open the gateway to the next level, but don't forget to gather up the goodies in each wave - from bonus points to extra smart bombs and even an occasional mega-crystal for massive points.

Crystal Quest is available worldwide for $4.99 from Apple's App Store.
