Y'know, I'm curious if someone would consider remaking this game into something playable. Some of the concepts in it's writing could implement into the plot of a pretty damn good game, perhaps an RPG. The game IS terrible, and I will participate in blowing up a copy of the game if I find a copy, but consider that if it were made a few years later with a more experienced team behind it, it could've been a classic. Excellent work playing through this atrocity!
i can tell you why the king and prince kept glancing at each other. origonally there was a plan for a huge final speech in the game, but they designers made the game SO FREAKING BAD that no one beat it untill silly internet nerds mapped every pixle of the game. then finally someone gets to the end and the king and prince have forgotten their lines. its just akward glances as they each wait for the other to cue them in. let play deadly towers... ending of akwaaaaard.
Its not just nostalgia, although this was one of the first games I played. I like the novelty of the artistic design. It is unique in its style. Not only that, but the music is pretty good. If you seperate your feelings about the game from the music, youll realize that.
Also, I always imagined that being insane would be sort of like being trapped in the deadly towers dungeons.
As far as deadly towers in general, it was a good idea but the execution is just broken. From the cheap deaths, to starting over at the beginning, insane dungeons, and starting way too weak, and fucking bats, there are too many flaws. However, with passwords and info about the game, you can make it far more playable. Not that its great, but its not torture with better weapons/armor. Also, I always really liked this game (as you can see from my walls of text). continued
I need to clear one thing up - the last boss is not easy. He won right away cause he had invincibility. That caused him to spam the lastboss with hits when he went on top of him, but more importantly, rubas couldnt hit him. Even with the best armor, rubas can kill you almost right away. You have to stay between him and his spinning heads and then attack him normally, which is not an easy feat.
All the bashing this game gets really gets old after awhile. It's become cool to bash it when most people haven't even tried playing it. There are far worse games out there then this. This was one of the first I ever played, so it has always been special to me. I beat this game a long time ago, using maps I made myself before there was Internet to look them up on. Considering this wsa made in 1986, it's not that bad...
@PaulIsDeadMissHim But considering it is now 2010, it's not very entertaining anymore.
What makes a great game? One of the qualities is the ability to hold up through time. A game that does not get less enjoyable as the years go by. This game aged pretty bad. Examples of games that aged well? Super Metroid, Super Mario Bros 3, Mega Man 2, Pac-Man...
I don't hate this game, but it IS pretty horrible to play these days.
After banging my head against the wall on this game (never beat it, only destroyed 3 towers) as a kid, it was good to finally see it beaten. Even if it did bring up horrible memories of dying over and over in the most ridiculous of ways.
Well that's no fair! Shadowgate took 11 episodes; Deadly Towers only took 8, (counting the last two as a single episode)... DeceasedCrab must be punished further!
this is catchy... and by catchy i mean no, but you could probably remix that song playing... dunno if it'll be good or not though... that's my challenge for everyone make a good deadly towers song remix
Making a good Deadly Towers ANYTHING would instantaneously open up a black hole, turn the world inside-out, and catapult us through exactly nine alternate universes.
Im honestly glad i watched that all the way though, now i don't have to play such a terrible game (although it was painful to look at) thank you DC for playing it and thank you MadamLuna for making him play it in the first place XD
Why did I watch? Because seeing more than the first few rooms of Deadly Towers was a lifelong dream of mine, because the speed run skipped too much, and because seeing someone actually be GOOD at Deadly Towers was BEYOND fascinating.
Put it on your resume. You beat Deadly Towers. That's some serious credentials right there. Good job DC and congratulations!
Wow. Your reward for playing Deadly Towers: two orange-brown sprite blobs in the roughly hewn shape of a King and a boyish prince. And white on black text-credits.
Next time on Deadly Towers 2: THREE sprite blobs await to reward your challenge!
I love how they thought the game was so good that it deserved a sequel, it's like those mothers that think their children are perfect, but just like those mothers they were wrong.
I notice that, like Skuljagger, there were relatively few people involved in the production of the game.
I mean, the entire thing was programmed by one guy. Seriously. And they had four directors. Why do you have four directors, and yet only one programmer?
