The Crystal Skull (1996) Playthrough - Part 1 (PC)

The Crystal Skull begins with Emperor Motecuhzoma II waking from a strange dream where you - Quetzal, a birdkeeper in the Emperor's aviary - brought him a Crystal Skull which showed mysterious visions to him. Upon waking, he learns from a messenger that "white men with beards" have arrived in the east. He promptly gives orders for you to be brought to him so that you can bring him the Crystal Skull.

However, Motecuhzoma's military commander General Snakeskirt promptly gives secret orders for you to be found and killed before the Emperor can meet with you. You have no choice but to make your way through Tenochtitlan past Snakeskirt's men to the Emperor - aided by a friendly Shaman with various magical abilities - and after that, out of Tenochtitlan to find the Crystal Skull, on a journey that takes you across Mesoamerica to the abandoned cities of Teotihuacan and Tula, across the ocean to the ancestral homeland of Aztlan, back through time to the cities of the Maya, and finally deep within the earth to the realm of Xibalba.

--- I personally love this game for its unique interface and use of full motion video effects.. Edward James Olmos from Miami Vice fame makes an appearance as The Shaman in the game - providing help and hints to the main protagonist... Gameplay feels VERY reminiscent of another game from the same time period.. "Wrath Of The Gods" which had you exploring Ancient Greece and the like..

Please enjoy this playthrough and thank you for watching! :)
