Indie Retro News: The Tower of Evil

One other Commodore Amiga port to grace our residence laptop screens, is the unofficial and minimalistic remake of The Tower of Evil. A prime down motion sport which wasn’t simply launched from 1984 to 1985 by Artistic Sparks, however there was a later unofficial port by artlace/rebels for the Commodore 16, Plus/4, ZX Spectrum and VIC 20. A sport through which you play the function of Andros who was banished years in the past by King Salimos and may solely return when he rescues the kidnapped Princess Diana and finds the King’s misplaced treasure taken by an evil Necromancer!

This is the most recent from ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP by way of a reply beneath Saberman’s video. “The story behind it was that we needed to make a sport for the 2024 Amiga Sport Jam. It is most important theme is ‘The Sequel That By no means Was’. As it’s one in all our most memorable sport of our childhood we wish to make an unofficial sequel of ‘Tower Of Evil’ (plus/4) on the Amiga (not less than one thing similar to that title). At the moment the foundations had been extra detailed in order that the sequel needed to be primarily based on an sport already current on Amiga”.

“First we port it after which make a sequel. (I hope it isn’t thought-about as dishonest.). So this sport is ended up being a little bit “workaround” to suit the foundations. As this was not the principle focus it (sadly) it doesn’t have the mandatory adjustments. Including a brand new look was in all probability not the perfect thought. :S It’s the cause why the unique sprites are in it too”.
