Crystal Caves

Crystal Caves is a side-scrolling platform game developed and published by Apogee Software for IBM PC compatibles.Each game in the series follows Mylo going to the planet Altair to collect enough crystals from its mines to finance his latest get-rich-quick scheme.He collects enough crystals to do so, and for a while, business is booming, but the slugs soon burrow their way into an abandoned salt mine and perish, depriving Mylo of his stock.Thanks to its spectacular view of the nebula, the restaurant becomes the hottest spot in the galaxy, and Mylo finally makes his millions.[citation needed] The main character's name, "Mylo Steamwitz", was coined by George Broussard and was meant to sound like a loser's name.[4] In October 2005, 3D Realms (formerly Apogee) released a maintenance patch to fix a bug in the game which set the player's computer's clock backwards 100 years after playing on Windows XP.
