A New Tower Defense Game for the 8-bit NES

Tower Defense 1990 is a new homebrewed game from Retro Wonder Workers. It is designed for the North American Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It is currently in development.

The game is part action, part puzzle, and part strategy.

Build towers and defend your castle from hoards of marching enemies. Lose all your peasants and it's game over!

It has already met its funding goal. It's $5 for the ROM or $45 for the NES cart.

The $150 is kinda expensive for what is offered. A different color cart is around the same price as a gray one (unless it's an unorthodox color like gold, silver, or even clear). And the ROM can easily be hacked to include any message one wishes (for those who know how). And to make matters worse, a person can simply just pulled rchase the ROM and make a repro themselves.

Hmm, at least he got the amount he needed. That is what is most important.

I'm gonna pledge $5 for the download of the ROM - to me, it's worth it.

Definitely!

I was thinking the same, just in case he uses a mapper that can't be repro'd yet. 😻

Tower Defense 1990 is making a lot of progress. 12 of the 13 levels have already been fully implemented. There's lots of musical tracks. A sound test option for listening to the music has been added as well as a passcode system for maintaining progress. It seems like it will be ready before this summer.

Here's the latest news, including box and manual artwork and a sample of the music.

Well here's a surprising notice from today:

I was able to reorganize my game to use the UNROM mapper/board. This board will increase the number of levels possible. I'm unsure of the exact number of levels, but it will be more than 20.
