I received the Critter Editor for Crystal Quest in yesterday's mail.
One thing you can say about the publisher, Greene, Inc. is that they
ship as promised.  Several weeks ago they sent a letter saying that
Critter Editor would be available August first and that registered
Crystal Quest owners could buy it for $15 instead of "list" price of
$40.  They also sent au updated version of Crystal Quest (2.2c) free.
Now that's what I call support.

I tried out the editor and it allows over 1,000 different parameters
affecting the game to be changed: icons, sounds, colors, speed and
frequency of baddies, etc.  It comes with a couple of sample "parameter"
files which can be applied to Crystal Quest to modify the game.
The publisher encourages the sharing and posting of the parameter
files, but wants us to buy the game and editor.

The use of the Critter Editor allows people to make the game as
tough as or easy as one desires. All-in-all a pretty neat package.
