Flowers of Crystal

An AMOS based shareware adventure game from Satchel Software in 1991. Flowers of Crystal is an educational game from the author of Granny's Garden. The game was designed to provide for creative activities in the classroom and is built around puzzle-solving. It consists of three parts: an introductory story and an adventure in two parts. A password from the first part is required to start the second. The introductory story is also included recorded on an audio tape as well as printed in a booklet.

The game takes place on the planet Crystal which once had vast expanses of colorful flowers that are now thought to be extinct. The player is a visitor from Earth who explores the planet in an attempt to find the last remaining flower. In the first part, the player has to find four objects (special water, gold pot, fertilizer and soil). The game play involves traveling between seven locations (center, city, factory, forest, lake, desert and mountains) and choosing which items to carry. The game starts out at the center where the player chooses four items from three different menus. Items are needed when visiting some of the locations or give some protection when encountering hazards or some of the world's hostile creatures. The second part involves finding six parts of a flower dream to recreate a complete flower picture and then go to a castle. To progress it is necessary to obtain spells and use them at the right location.

Game was distributed in a clear plastic satchel with disks and other items packed inside the manual. Hence the manual covers also serve as a "box cover"
