+jgkspsx Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I like the AJ64 panther logo a lot better than AJAX64. I hope the “AL16” gets a nicer replacement than GAME… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the movement in Towers is tile based, while Towers II is free roaming. There is also the graphics and music upgrade as well for Towers II. It seems like the story, characters and goal of both games is exactly the same. I didn't think so? It's been ages since I tried to get it to work with a null modem between a 1040ST (1mb of ram) and my Mega STe (4mb of ram). It would complain that it didn't have enough ram on the 1040ST. I should try and fix that 1040ST... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towers I and Towers II were similar that they are both RPGs, but the stories, enemies, puzzles and maps differ greatly between the two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towers requires a minimum of 864340 bytes of FREE memory left on your system to run in a one player mode. If you have 930360 bytes free, you can also access a two player mode via Null-Modem, Midi cables, and with a Hayes AT command set compatible, 14.4k Error Correction Modem or better, you can play over the phone. If you have a one megabyte Atari system, you can run the Two Player mode as well. Just make sure the the AUTO folder with TOW_STRT.PRG is on Towers Disk One and boot that disk, This should leave you with enough memory to play the two player mode.

Anyway, this is a gorgeous package. I can't wait to put my kids to bed so I can pour myself a nice adult beverage and dig in! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFG 9000 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I spent a few hours with Towers II last night and really enjoyed it. I don't know the original all that well as I've already played farther into the revision, but from what I've seen this new version is clearly more enjoyable. Of course we all knew that this would be an improvement, as that's the whole point. But it truly is a clear difference. The lifebar above the enemies alone is a significant upgrade. The new weapon visuals look really nice. The voiceovers sounds great and add to the immersion. Overall the game looks and runs quite a bit better, and that makes for a more fun experience. I would love to see the two versions running side by side at a game convention or something, to make the field of view and framerate improvements easier to compare. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That silver marker is pretty horrible and makes it hard to make out the numbers/letters. Not only that, my autographs are smeared and there is other residue from the marker on my postcard. Not a huge deal, but they could have done better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I just posted my video for this release. Less than 100 copies of the First Run are left, so just a heads up. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Editorb Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 After boasting of the lengths to which I’d go, I blanked on ordering until later that day. My tardiness earned me number 41. As I staggered home from Speakeasy Arcade, where I play pinball machines and cabinet games, I excitedly thought I received the Life, the Universe, and Everything game. Checked again and realized it wasn’t 42. Shoulda waited a few minutes! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was promoting the game "Starship Titanic" at the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 I know we've posted some videos showing the CRY lighting effect, but here are some screens all taken while traversing a long hallway. You can see it gets quite dark as you move away from the light source. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Saturn Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Was playing last night! Killed my 1st guard with a mop to get the short sword 🗡️ then on to the bow and a quill of arrows. Forgot those weren't unlimited and ran out after shooting them all over the place. Tried ye ol' cheat code for God mode from the original and it didn't work😳 What's the new code, Carl?!? (All good, I'ma rough it) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
