Tower of Evil

arcade action game for Commodore 64, 2023

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You play the role of Andros who was banished years ago by King Salimos and can
only return when he returns kidnapped Princess Diana and the King's lost
treasure taken by an evil Necromancer. You have journeyed to the
Necromancer's home, The Tower of Evil to retrieve the stolen treasure and
Princess Diana in this top view flick-screen game. Starting on the ground
floor, you must search the rooms looking for treasure and a key to use a
magic stairway to move up a floor to finally reach the seventh floor where
the Princess is. Occupying each floor are various creatures that need to be
avoided or shot with fireballs from your fingertips and if you touch a
creature then you lose one of five lives but a goblet will give you
invincibility for a limited time. Once you reach the seventh floor you must
find a chest to place the treasure in before finding and rescuing the
Princess who will disappear and you have to start the whole quest again. Two
players can play and each player takes it in turns to play when the other
player is killed.
