A Fox Video Games cartridge with little documented about it, cheap loose but costly complete.

John Marvin designed Crypts of Chaos, and Fox Video Games published it in North America in February 1983. Little is documented about it beyond its designer, publisher and release date.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 1 No. 11	February 1983	Graphics ★★ · Play-Action ★★
Electronic Fun with Computers & Games Vol. 1 No. 8	June 1983	1½ joysticks

“Although the game's basic concept is a good one, we found it frustrating to play at first. Eventually it became just plain boring because it doesn't have as much to offer as other games of this type.”
— Computer Entertainer, February 1983

“What they got was a mess—poor-resolution graphics and more commands than you can conveniently execute with a joystick.”
— Electronic Fun with Computers & Games, June 1983

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system. Electronic Fun rated games out of four joysticks.

Before you buy

Low risk. No reproductions are documented. Loose carts are inexpensive, but complete copies cost several times as much, so the box and manual carry most of a complete copy's value. Check them carefully if you are paying for completeness.
