In the begining of the Earth’s history, there was nothing. Then one day a beam hit the Earth, starting life. This beam had all the data for all the different types of organisms on Earth. But, being the beam had to travel millions of light years, there was some mallfunctions in the data, thus causing the humans. Now you might be wondering where this beam came from. It was sent by extra-terrestrial beigns from another galaxy. Now these beigns relized the error and sent a pod to Earth to check on the planet to make sure the humans weren’t destroying it. This was the start of all the problems.
The humans were obsested with technology and power. They had just discovered that they can make machiens to do their work for them. Now these machiens, primative as they are, were big smoke beelchers. Now all this smoke was disturbing the Earth’s atmosphere, causing the alien pod to crash. If you think about it, a space craft powered by a nuclear generator that crashes isn’t going to go unnoticed. The humans with their immense curiosity went to check it out. They had discovered a ship with a technology greater than theirs.
The aliens weren’t about to let another mistake happen. This started the War of the Worlds. The humans figured they would need to make a weapon more powerful than any one had seen before, The Master Blade. This angered the aliens and they decided to get rid of this blade once and for all, so they made the Lazer Blade. Using the Lazer Blade the aliens banished the Master Blade to the pits of hell. But that didn’t stop the humans. Individuals tried to make it to the ship. The aliens captured these people and brain washed them to protect the ship and the Lazer Blade.
A thousand years have passed since then…
People have forgotten about the crash but greed still remains. And with this greed comes crime. And with this crime comes heros, the Spirit Riders. They come at the strike of a lightning bolt and leave just as mysteriously, just like a group of spirits. One day their mentor visited their hideout. “I have job for you, my sons,” he said, “In this land their is a crystal, the Dark Crystal. No one knows where it came from but I can tell you it is extremly dangerous. It holds the soul of the evilest beign there ever was, Anialator. Whomever has this crystal has supreme power. Some one has this crystal and is threatining to use it. And on top of that, they have some how managed to retrieve the Master Blade. You must stop him before he destroys the world. Stop and talk to the people in the town, they might know something we don’t. You might also want to buy supplies. On last note, there is a rumor that a dragon has been sighted near the ruins of the old city. Good luck, my sons.”
And with that he disappeared into thin air, and the Spirit Riders head to the town, where no one suspects that they’re the Spirit Riders. In the town you buy some supplies and a map of the mines from a pedlar. He also tells you the story of the mines. “You see sonny,” he says, “200 years ago the miners went to work. But when it came time for them to come home, they never did. People went down to look for them but they also were never seen again. After time, a disgusting smell started arising. Mabey you would like to try your luck and solve this mystery.”
You also came across a begar selling information. He told you that he’s seen a gigantic goblin near the mines lately, but you think he’s seen the inside of the ale house once too often. But in the end you decide to start there, being that you have no other leads.
Wow! What a story, huh? What did you expect? It’s FREEWARE. I will tell you onething, in SR 2 you’ll find the Spirit Coin and in SR 3 if you transfer a saved game from SR 2 with the Spirit Coin you’ll learn that you’re not the first Spirit Riders.

Another thing that really makes Spirit Riders, Vol. 1: The Quest for the Crystal v1.3 enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Spirit Riders, Vol. 1: The Quest for the Crystal v1.3. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
