Tower of Doom

About

Tower of Doom lets you play a dungeon crawler on the Intellivision with 10 distinct character roles. You pick a quest from seven options, then navigate a top-down dungeon where each room and corridor appears as you explore. Inventory management and a full map help you plan your moves. When monsters show up, you either fight them head-on or try tossing gold or items to make them leave. Traps and enchanted objects add unpredictable twists, especially in harder quests where maps and loot effects change between plays. This 1987 title stands out for its randomized challenges and early use of interactive inventory systems on the Intellivision. While its graphics feel dated by modern standards, the blend of exploration and tactical choices ahead of its time earned it a niche following among retro RPG enthusiasts. Players who remember the system praise its clever use of the controller for precise movement and item selection.
