Crystal Caliburn

The developers published an extensive manual, including general pinball playing techniques. The game consists of a single pinball table, and has a knightly theme, featuring characters such as Merlin and King Arthur. The goal is to summon knights who can restore the Holy Grail to Camelot. == Development ==

Crystal Caliburn is designed to be like a 1980s pinball machine, and is the first game by LittleWing to feature ramps. It is the third pinball simulation developed by LittleWing, after Tristan and Eight Ball Deluxe. It is the second table to feature King Arthur, following Tristan. The playfield is shown on the left part of the screen, with scoring and a stained glass window display on the right. ==Reception==

In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared Crystal Caliburn the 140th-best computer game ever released. AllGame was "pleasantly surprised" finding it to have deceptively simple play. A reviewer for Mac Game Gate found it to be the best pinball game they had played, though were a little irritated by the screen scrolling if set to 640x480 resolution. Christopher Breen found the ball to move slower than on Eight Ball Deluxe, but still felt it moved realistically. The sounds and visuals were declared as good, and the game enjoyable. Aktueller Software Markt enjoyed the simple top-down view and found the sound effects to be quite good. A reviewer for The Flipside found it to be an excellent game with a variety of strategies available for players, and almost perfect apart from quirks with inconsistency from the flippers. == Sequel ==

The sixth pinball game by LittleWing, called Golden Logres, continued the story based on Arthurian legend. ==References==
