About this converter
This page compares scoring actions from Crystal Castles, the 1983 Atari arcade game with Bentley Bear. The Atari 2600 manual lists gem points, last gem bonuses, hat, honey, Gem Eater, and Berthilda values. Gems start at 1 point and rise by 1 for each gem to a cap of 99 points. Clearing a castle pays 1000 points for the first castle and adds 100 for each later castle. The converter keeps all values in points.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Select a gem step in one box and Berthilda in the other box to see the gap. Try last gem bonuses from early and late castles to show growth.
No official figure was found for red gem 50, star 500, nose bonus, honey jump, or separate gem collection bonus. Those items were left out. Fan sites list different hat or Gem Eater numbers, but this draft uses the Atari 2600 manual via AtariAge as the source. Last gem values for castle 4 and castle 10 are calculated from the manual rule of 1000 plus 100 per later castle.
