An expanded game of Crystal Mines II
In 2000, Songbird Productions produced a sequel, Crystal Mines II: Buried Treasure on CD-ROM for Microsoft Windows. This CD-ROM required the original game and a Lynx to PC serial cable to run, allowing the editing and creation of all new levels. This was followed in 2003 by a cartridge release of Crystal Mines II: Buried Treasure with the original 181 levels and 125 new levels.

Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 13: Atari Lynx Collection 1
I was honestly expecting more of a boulder-dash game here instead of whats essentially Chips Challenge but messier but here we go. Ultimately its a pretty fun game as you race around the various levels collecting gems, shooting enemies and pushing rocks around but its... just missing something for me to really make it shine.
I think the core problem is the variety isnt quite there so you'll be burnt out by the game long before you've even hit the halfway mark, let alone hitting the top of the 281 levels the game has going for it. Its still a pretty fun time but one that doesnt quite hit the heavy highs its wanting to.
