Play Krull Online

Game Overview

Krull on the Atari 2600 is one of those weird, ambitious movie tie-ins that somehow works. You start mid-wedding chaos—slayers bust in, and you’re just swinging away at them as Prince Colwyn until, bam, the Beast kidnaps your bride. Classic.

Then it gets weird in the best way. You’re suddenly galloping on a horse (which handles like a brick with legs) toward this giant spiderweb. Dodging web strands while a crystal spider chases you is equal parts frustrating and weirdly hypnotic. If you survive, you grab a glaive—this spinning, boomerang-ish weapon—and storm the Black Fortress to rescue Lyssa.

The final showdown with the Beast is janky but satisfying, especially when you figure out the glaive’s timing. And just when you think you’ve won, the whole thing loops harder. It’s messy, but there’s something charming about how much they crammed into one cartridge.
