This game from new software house Creative Sparks should give Vic owners many hours of enjoyable alien bashing.

Playing Tower Of Evil is a bit like playing a watered-down version of Atic Atac. You move from room to room blasting the occupants and collecting treasures.

There are seven levels and you must ascend through each of these to rescue the Princess on the top floor. In each level you will find a key, a pile of gold, some cups containing magic potions, and a magic stairway.

Picking up the potions either doubles your firepower for a while, or else makes you temporarily invincible. Adding the gold to your collection is important for extra points.

In order to move from one level to another, you must first find the key, and then find the stairway. Entering the stairway without first finding the key means you are as likely to drop down a level as you are to go up one.

You have five lives, and if you lose one while carrying a key, the program takes it from you and hides it again in one of the rooms.

On the first level the aliens just chase you, but they get faster, more intelligent, and deadlier as you go on. After level one they start firing at you as well.
