An arcade version of Krull was released in 1983, programed by Matt Householder and Chris Krubel. About 2500 cabinets were produced, and the art was created by Terry Doerzaph.

• Second event: The player is tasked with shooting slayers, as well as rescuing their army in preparation for the next event
• Third event: The player is tasked with picking up their army and leading them to the hexagon
• Fourth event: The player is tasked with breaking down the wall of the hexagon so they and their army may move in
• Fifth event: The player is tasked with Saving Princess Lyssa, while avoiding her captor and his fireballs
