Crystal's Pony Tale

Crystal's Pony Tale is a 1994 platform game developed by Artech Digital Entertainment, Ltd. and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

Players guide Crystal Pony through a series of locations, collecting horseshoes and using them at level gates to open new routes. Areas can be explored in any order, with direct travel and teleportation pictures providing ways to move between them.

The game emphasizes adventure and exploration over action. Crystal Pony cannot be defeated permanently; enemy hits simply make her lose a horseshoe. The main battles are encounters with the witch, triggered when a gem is used in the correct place. Crystal Pony automatically jumps over obstacles, while the player can also perform jumps manually and interact with objects and characters to obtain extra items.
