The Crystal Maze was a brilliant game show that appeared on our screens in February 1990. Fronted by the eccentric Richard O'Brien there was one series every year for five years. The game is set in "The Crystal Maze" and there are four game zones which are set throughout different periods of time. The concept of the game is for a team of six challengers to play games in each zone and win crystals to take through to the big end game to hopefully win a cracking prize! Each crystal equates to five seconds inside the crystal dome. The zones: Aztec - this was always my favourite zone, set in a desert village, with the sun blazing down (as richard o'brien ...  Read the complete review

The Crystal Maze was a game show that was shown on Channel Four between 1990 and 1995 and the first four series were presented by Richard O'Brien and the final two by Ed Tudor-Pole. In my opinion I thought the former was the better host as he seemed to add a bit more excitement and energy to proceedings. Each show was about an hour long in total and I always found it was immense fun when I watched it. I know it sounds bad but I must admit I quite often found myself watching this show and found it more enjoyable when the players got locked in to the rooms when the time limit ran out as it made it more fun to watch. The format of the show was the same each week ...  Read the complete review

The Crystal Maze was a thoroughly entertaining 1980s game show, initially fronted by Richard O'Brien of Rocky Horror Picture Show fame and later by Ed Tudor-Pole, who did nowhere near as good a job. To be fair to him, he had a hell of a pair of shoes to fill, O'Brien was hilariously witty, mocking the poorer contestants while never stepping over the line. The rules were fairly simple: a team of six took a journey through four zones: Aztec, Medieval, Industrial and Futuristic (one of the latter two was later replaced by Ocean, but I can't remember which). Various one-person games in the genres physical, mental, skill and mystery, of a duration between two and ...  Read the complete review
