You play a small green guy who needs to blow up eight Tower Toppler towers because their presence is somehow poisoning the water of planets which could potentially be ideal colonies. Unfortunately, you need to get to the top of these towers to blow them up.
You make your way up to the top of the tower via walkways around the outside of the Tower Toppler towers. You need to jump over, kick, and run from various enemies in your journey to the top. Most vertical movement is achieved by jumping onto moving ledges at the right moment.
The game was considered revolutionary in its time for its graphic technique. As the main character walked around the outside of the Tower Toppler towers, the character was fixed in the middle of the screen while the tower itself rotated. This gave it a pseudo-3D effect.
The Tower Toppler game features a side-scrolling collect-'em-up as you voyage through the sea in your trusty MK.7 submarine. This allows for bonus points to be obtained.
Tower Toppler was released on January 1st, 1989 for the Atari 7800 console and is still remembered fondly by retro gaming enthusiasts today.
