Krull Review - Atari 2600 

I first played this game around 1986, when I was 10 years old. I remember the spider’s web was really annoying but at some point I figured it out and it was not a problem anymore. Actually, Krull always had its place in my list of Atari’s best games of all time.

Actually one of my most played 2600 for several months after I got it. Had seen the film in the theater as a kid - the game was infinitely better than the movie. For it's time, it had so much more to offer than most games. Can't agree with your take at all on it being a bad game. It was in that transitional period of games that you can just pick up and play for a few minutes to one of those games you had to get better at, pick up complex patterns and grind your way through to consistently beating. I always considered this one of the stand out games in my collection. The spider web stage could have been a bit less clunky by design, though. I agree with that. Review came out a bit more like "it was a bad game cuz it was hard" ;)

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. I just watched the movie this weekend.

RNG IF YOU SAW THE MOVIE IT FITS THE MOVIE EXACTLY

fun fact how 70s electric co, willy wanka and krull are CONNECTED denise in short circus on electric co was violet , the teacher in wanka was the magician in krull morgan freedman was several charicters on EC on letterman on EC joan rivers was announcer zero mostel from fiddler on roof (teveya) spell binder and gene wilder WW was letterman

Good movie, didn't care for the game back in the day, because i didn't really understand it, but there's a method to the madness and is not actually too bad of a game.

Cheers for putting in all the effort to make this presentation, much appreciated. Krull (the movie) was like a rugpull high fantasy film from the eighties. It had all the makings and budget of an absolutely brilliant film, however the third act felt like it was found in the discard pile of a writers room somewhere. So frustrating - elements of it were up there with the best. The glaive itself should've had a film on its own. The 2600 game looks above par for some of the movie tie-ins (do I even have to mention ET??). Sadly, due to limitations, the console had to rely on levels of frustration in its games to prolong playability. I was never aware this game existed until today.

This is a brilliant game, one of the best movie adaptations. The web is frustrating but you can successfully jump over them with practice. It’s a 9/10 for me.

Hard game, but I managed to rescue Lysette Anthony (Lyssa), you just have to be good. Some Atari VCS were very hard to complete, but that was the fun of it.. 2600 games was for 'real' players!!!

And this was before LJN, the masters of bad movie-based games.

I loved playing Krull as a kid. But yes it’s impossibly hard.

You couldn't capture off your VCR because all VCRs made after 1998 are required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to have Macrovision copy protection, which deliberately messes with the video signal in ways such that televisions are unaffected (because they have compensation circuitry) but video capturing and recording equipment just can't get a good picture. You're hosed using this method, as it's a federal crime to circumvent Macrovision.

Liked and subscribed. Damn it though. Now I gotta get the game. Thanks….

Haha… Krull is the name of their planet. See the movie, it’s not too bad (better than the game. There’s several young stars in it before they get famous including Robbie Coltrane and Liam Neeson). Yeah, I don’t understand why people want me to put this game in one of my videos, I think it’s mediocre at best.

you should play game 2 when you play this, its easier and you will win with much less frustration, if you try this you will like the game

LOL NOT KRULLS Feance KRULL is the PLANET! its cowynn and Lyssa

yaaa, neat movie...bad game. Try the atari game Yars Revenge. It's like the Krull boss fight level, but without the spider and horse crap

Krull! I saw the movie as a kid! Woot! First, I never saw this game ever lol…I’m glad my Dad didn’t buy me this game lol

I think ITS better than Witcher 3 😂

This looks so bad😂😂😂
