Crystalis

Crystalis is an action-adventure video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It was developed and published by SNK in 1990. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the player takes on the role of a character named "The Hero" who has been cryogenically frozen for 100 years. The world has been ravaged by a great war and is now overrun with mutants, demons, and other creatures.

The objective of the game is to collect four swords, each representing an element: wind, fire, water, and earth. These swords can be combined to create the Crystalis, a powerful weapon that can defeat the game's final boss, Draygon.

The Hero starts with a basic sword and must explore various towns and dungeons to find weapons, items, and magic spells. The game features both overhead exploration and side-scrolling combat. The Hero can attack enemies with his sword or use magic spells to defeat them.
