"Alas, the same is true here, for the online is entirely barren now, and with so much of the focus dumped into multiplayer modes that are practically worthless, (And not even that fun with the local friends I did manage to bring over) I just can’t understand what Treasure Stack was going for. With several more local modes, and just a bit more tweaking, this could easily be an addictive, fun modern take on the Wario’s Woods formula, but as it stands now, this just ends up being a forgettable puzzler that pales compared to the inspiration."

About

Crystal Mines II: Buried Treasure is a puzzle sequel that tasks you with matching colored crystals to clear mineshaft grids. Each level challenges you to plan moves carefully, as wrong steps can block progress or waste limited turns. The game builds on its predecessor with refined mechanics and a focus on precise timing. The 2003 cartridge version bundles all 181 original levels plus 125 new ones, making it a standalone package without the CD-ROM edition’s hardware requirements. The game’s standout feature is its level editor, originally included in the 2000 CD-ROM release, which let players design and share custom puzzles. Though the Lynx’s small screen limits visual flair, the tight controls and growing difficulty keep the experience engaging. With a niche but dedicated retro gaming audience, it remains a solid choice for puzzle fans who appreciate low-tech, high-think challenges. Its December 2003 release made it one of the last titles for the Atari Lynx, adding to its collector appeal.
