Tower Toppler wackiness

[chrisbid]

i just tried my copy of tower toppler today, and there is a major problem, when i start the game, i get the first tower intro, the guy gets out of the ship, and then suddenly the second stage intro pops up, and this just keeps going. Ive tried using a few different joysticks and still no luck. were there a bad batch of games out there? the cart and contacts are super clean, so thats not the issue... seems like a halfway decent game too

It's the difficulty switches. Move one of the them left or right (I forget which). You've accidentally triggered the secret level select mode.

thank you, what a crazy easter egg

That happened to me too the first time. I didn't figure out that it was a level select until years later. That game needs a level select, because i've only completed the first two towers without it.

What's even more crazy, if you fool around with the switches enough, you can get unlimited lives.

Heres another crazy easter egg I discovered. Use the stage select trick to go to level 1. Once there complete level and you'll get a congratulations message.

Remember back when "crazy" actually meant something?

That's sucky news, you mean crazy no longer has a meaning? Does this mean we can no longer use the term? When did all this happen anyways? I've never heard of words losing meaning altogether.... Surely this is a first. WHY DON'T PEOPLE SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE!????

My biggest problem has been running out of time before I finish each level. So now and then I dig out my game genie and practice on the NES version with an unlimited time code. It's still difficult to climb those towers, but without a time limit, you won't be nearly as frustrated when you get bumped off a ledge or something... and you'll learn where to move and when - then you won't lose a ton of time when you're playing the regular way. This is a great game... one of my favorites! :-)

I've been trying to play through TT but I can never get very far on Tower 4. I always get stuck on the second floor up, but now that I know about the level select, I'll be able to try out level 4 a little more often

Man, what a great game this is.

It's "crazy" how much I dig it.
