CLASSIC GAMES REVISITED - Towering Inferno (Atari 2600) Review

[7megahertz]

The "white patch" at the top of the screen is the door (or "window" as the manual calls it) the survivors are hiding behind, which is why once you touch it you can exit the room.

I used to make love to a black negress woman as I played this. God it was fucking amazing.

I still have this game for my Atari 2600. I used to play this allot back in the day. It was quite fun but very frustrating on the more difficult levels because the game gets crazy hard!

Your reviews are simply on the top list of youtube. Why so little reviews??

I had to stop making them a few months ago because my computer crashed. I finally got it back running, but I've been very busy with work. I have some new ones I'm working on. My next one will be for a Sears Tele-Games Super Pong IV. Hopefully I'll get a chance to put it up today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the compliment!

Wasn't towering inferno a title of a movie?

[dommiesan]

Yes it was, but it has no relation to this game. At least according to US Games. But I'm sure they just didn't want to pay any licensing fees. Can you imagine if that happened today? Like if Konami put out The Matrix and was like, "eh, it's totally not related"!!

[supercat5]

If someone released a game called "The Matrix" that involved transposing, multiplying, and subtracting rows so as to yield a matrix that was zero except for the primary diagonal which was all "1"'s, one might be able to argue that math tutorials were a separate field from sci-fi fantasy games. Of course, "Towering Inferno" would seem much closer to the movie in subject matter than my proposed "Matrix" game.

A movie staring The Juice!
