A BLURRED LINE v2.1
Crystalis: Sonata of the Far-Away Sky
author=bulmabriefs144
Poor writing translation was the bane of comprehensibility in early games.

True, although Crystalis was written better than most of them. It deserved more attention than it got, but as it was released too late in the NES cycle, when people were jumping ship to other consoles, it never received enough attention.

Crystalis: Sonata of the Far-Away Sky
Good summary. I forgot about Mesia's role. It's one of those really compelling NES games that leaves things up in the air. It would seem odd that Draygon would want to summon the one thing that could destroy him, unless he planned to control the tower, which is what I always assumed to be the case, even though it was never fully disclosed (not in the NES version anyways).
Perhaps this was the reason for the changes in the GBA version. A shame, really, because if they had kept the feel of the game and didn't change the music so much, and worked more on their expansion of the story, the GBA could have been much better than it was.

I can't really remember much of the end, but if memory serves me correct (from the NES version):
The hero was part of the team that initially erected the tower. They placed a computer inside so that if evil ever stirred, it would eliminate the threat completely, which I believe would have included innocent people as well... sort of like a cleansing. Science was outlawed, magic had returned. The hero was frozen in cryonic sleep until a time he is needed again (although that revelation comes at the end).
Dracon wanted global power and had amassed a large military. He wanted to combine magic with science, and I believe he was trying to access the tower to gain complete control.
The hero destroyed Dracon, and then was led to the tower to stop it from eradicating earth, since the threat was eliminated.
something of the sort.

you're right, but the best developers out here are also fueled by love of making games. Though it does need resources, and they do have bills to pay and all that. This is why Kickstarter do exist, because publishers wouldn't take the risk to publish this game and lose money because in the end the game wasn't as popular as they thought.
But then again, when developers go thru Kickstarter, boxed version of games cost like between 70-100$, and that really suck to pay that much for a boxed game...when you know you can get a digital version of this game for 20$...*sighs*
Though by donating for this game, you'll know that peoples support you and want you to make it a real awesome remake/reboot of the game. It's a shame SNK never did a remake of this game. And also, you might even have SNK Playmore's blessing for your remake, like Bungie did at the time for the Atari 2600 version of Halo.
It's a fangame, so the developer can't make money on it. Plus it's using a product that was never legally released outside of Japan (ie., RM2K3 is illegal to use unless you purchased the Japanese version). Even making donations on a fangame using what's considered illegal software is likely to cause a stir.
All of that aside, Crystalis was probably one of my all-time faves and it's a shame it never did receive a proper remake or sequel... outside of the horrible gba drivel.
RE: Prince of Nigeria
Kind of funny, although it would have been even better if there was an option to turn the tables on him and scam him instead.
