DeLorean Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Greenween, can you play this game by yourself or do you need multiple players? Let me know how the marathon goes and if you learn anything about the game! greenween and Yo-Yo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Professor Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I like the part about "electronic wizardry" on the box. That sounds like pretty serious stuff. Yo-Yo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenween Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 It is officially the greatest game ever made. There is a one person tutorial game. Meant for two to four though. You work your way around the board counter clockwise through 3 different territories, each one contains a key( bronze, silver and gold of course) and then mass your forces to attack the tower! Different diificulty levels determine the final battle in the tower! D &D brought to life, great game and worth every penny!!!

DeLorean Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 How did you even hear about this greatest game ever made, greenween? We need to do more on these forums about board games and tabletops. This is awesome in a whole different way. This is like rec-room stuff, where Atari all began!

greenween Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I had a good friend who lived a couple blocks away. His parents got divorced in 81'. In an attempt to buy his love, this kid had everything ever!!!! I mean everything! I remember his mom paying $55 for Asteroids for 2600 the day it came out!!!

greenween Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 We played this twice and then wrapped it for Christmas!!!! I'm so freaking excited! Yo-Yo 1 Quote "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 @greenween I've been catching up on all of these older threads since I'm new here, this game looks really cool. It's the epitome of early '80s toys. The way they took a traditional board game and added simple electronics and RPG elements is pretty sweet. Board games and tabletop games are underrated, families still get together around that stuff even if it's dominos or checkers! BTW I think it's really cool they made room in this forum for stuff like comics, old movies, classic toys and tabletop games. I think there's a lot more to Atari culture than classic gaming, it's everything that was going on at the time too. greenween 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marigul Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Had 1 when I was a kid and have found 2 or 3 in the past few years at flea markets. I always wondered why hasbro has not remade this. When I made toys I was always thinking of a way to reboot it, but most of the games I made were for 6 year old girls...

Arenafoot Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Don't forget the GCE Vectrex Dark Tower prototype game that never got released! Included the bin and overlay for emulation.

marigul Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 vetxtrex seems like an odd platform for a Dark Tower game... There is also a flash version http://hofle.com/darktower/DarkTower.swf I think I have seen some others http://www.voiceofthemummy.com/Pages/DarkTowerGames.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegasElite Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Is this prototype of "Dark Tower" a completed prototype for the Vectrex? I am understandably curious. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know it is - but never made it to being release.
