Countless ages before humans walked the earth, great flying dragons fought to survive.

The uncharted world was filled with their natural enemies.

But the dragons had to go on danger-filled adventures, driven by irresistible, primal need.

Outside the safety of their underground den were the crystal elements of Fire, Air, and Water,

sources of power and longer life. All these crystals gathered together created Super

crystals, with enough power to win the ultimate prize: the Diamond Treasure!

Just got the cart in the mail today! This game is nearly unplayable in emulation w/keyboard.
It takes a while to learn your way around the realm initially. Once I learned how to make my way back to the den, it was time to collect the crystals...which is easier said than done! You must collect an air crystal 2nd, in between retrieval of both fire and water crystals. This is very difficult since air crystals disintegrate when they hit the ground. Flying without hitting anything is a real trick. So far I've only did this once and that's because a bat was in the den! This is a pretty original title, but will require a lot of practice to play well. I was glad to at least assemble a first super crystal:
2,900

I think the manual for this game is a little misleading. The super crstals are assembled in the order of fire-air-water or water-air-fire but they don't need to be collected in that order.

To start the game, I usually collect 3 fire crystals in a row, then 3 air crystals, then 3 water crystals. Together they make 3 super crystals. This is a lot easier than getting crystals in the order it says in the manual.

I've been able to get the diamond to the den with as few as 2 super crystals although it's really hard to get past the rock demon without at least 3 or 4 super crystals.

Man,...I had the Diamond Crystal and was on my way out, but the Rock Demon stopped me in my tracks! I wasn't expecting him to show up again :x He was hard as heck to to kill the first time! I'll be better prepared for the rematch:

Well, I may have cracked the Dragon's Code, Steep learning curve, notwithstanding. Once I accumulated 25 Super Crystals, including at least 5 Diamonds, 99 fireballs, and 99 life points, my Dragon was(is) virtually invincible :D . I might very well topple Twin Galaxy's HSC, but that would take awhile.
Here's my status after cashing in my latest Diamond Crystal:

127,850; 40 super crystals; 3 eggs(xtra lives)
