Arkhan Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 holy shit. The INTV is worth owning just for that game alone. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Looks like a very interesting game. I wonder if NetHack was out yet when this came out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) I wonder if NetHack was out yet when this came out? Yeah, I've tried to play that a few times in recent years. But it's fantasically complicated for the newcomer. I got my first taste of that type of game on PC with Rogue, which is basically a colorized and simplified remake released as shareware. NetHack was a true Open Source game, which is why it became so popular. By the way, looks like it was released in '87, after the IntV. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Tower of Doom either. Guess I'll have to wait, as I understand it's not a cheapie. Edited February 10, 2011 by SlowCoder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldAtarian Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Uhg, I should have never sold Tower of Doom.. it was such a good game. tell me more? I want that game. Tower of Doom hits you with a double whammy in that not only is it one of the harder to find games, it also happens to be a damn good game. When you combine those two attributes the result is usually higher prices. Best bet for Tower of Doom is to find someone selling a complete system with a bunch of other games for a low price. Anyone selling it on it's own usually knows what it's worth. $25-$30 for the loose cart seems to be the norm and CIB usually runs from $75-$150 depending on condition.

cparsley Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yes, Tower of Doom is a great game, but if someone wanted to "hook me up" my welcome package would not be the INTV, but the Aquarius (hehehehehehe), or a 5200/7800 as I was never into Atari much as a kid, and can only come up with 2600's around here...

Skylark68 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Tower of Doom is a cool game. Make sure you find a copy with instructions. You'll need them. Another one that is awesome is Thunder Castle. You don't need instructions for that one, but it's great fun. The 2 official AD&D games were cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
