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. Chuck
