About Tower

Tower – full title Towers of Mist – is an action game by the Finnish group JLM Software. The surviving BBS blurb announces version 2.1, which according to the authors squashed a number of graphical bugs and brought various improvements and additions. The system requirements are a period curiosity in themselves: the game asked for a 286 PC with DOS, VGA graphics and even a math coprocessor, an unusual demand for a small homebrew production.

Titles like this defined the Finnish home-computer and BBS scene of the early 1990s. They spread through bulletin boards and shareware CDs, were barely known outside Finland, and international retro sites still overlook them today. You can judge it for yourself without installing anything – Tower runs right in your browser here on OldGame.cz.
