To find them, you have to shoot your way through hordes of monsters.
The game has six stages which can be taken on in any order.
Each stage consists of four acts.
The levels range from dark forests to deep caves, ancient crypts and underwater labyrinths.
You move through the 3D levels on a predetermined path and shoot at skeletons, zombies, spiders, demons and other foul beasts.
Your standard weapon is a shotgun, but you can gain additional weapons like gatling guns and grenade throwers.
Some enemies throw projectiles like knives or bones at you, so be sure to aim at those as well.
If the screen becomes too crowded, clear it with a smartbomb.
At the end of some acts, you can choose from one of two paths through the next act, giving you different ways of completing a stage.
At the end of each stage, a boss enemy awaits.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Crypt Killer for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Crypt Killer to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1997.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
