On the back of the sleeve, there's a short comic strip and some screenshots from the game. And there's a novel of about thirty pages (all illustrations are by Michel Rho)

I will treasure this game 🥰

Like Captain Blood, it is a vinyl-sized sleeve in which documents and floppy disks can be stored.

I really like the cartoon-style design! 😀

I'm so happy to have this game back in my hands 😍 ❤️ ❤️

L'Ange de Cristal (Crafton & Xunk 2), a childhood game that my father bought on Atari ST and that I loved.

I'll post some more photos 🙂

The in-game version is truly faithful to the original composition! 🎵

I wonder who did the chiptune. Jean-Louis Valero himself? (or Philippe Ulrich?)

Did you know that the music for Crafton & Xunk was composed on the piano? 🎹

Composer Jean-Louis Valero has posted it on his YouTube channel:

And I've added the MSX 2 version of Crafton & Xunk!

This one's pretty slow, and the music stops when a room is loaded.

The Crafton & Xunk games on Amstrad CPC and Atari ST were really great!

But did you know that the music was different in Crafton & Xunk 2? It was composed by Philippe on Atari ST. On Amstrad CPC, we don't know.

Here are some videos if you want to compare the versions:

My father also bought the sequel to Crafton & Xunk: L'Ange de Cristal! 💎

Released in 1988, the game was even more ambitious: bigger, more interactions, etc. Probably the best isometric action-adventure game of the time. 🤩
