Commodore 64 DTV

Tower Toppler was originally called Nebulus - I got it free on the covertape of one of the later editions of Amstrad Action (March '93 - issue 104 if i remember rightly). Spent many of my teenage year trying to get that amputated frog thing to the top of all eight towers.... and am still trying.

Yep, that's the one - Glad someone else could remember its original name! Seriously addictive game...

Yes, it was Nebulous.

The designer of this - is actually one of the key people behind the C1 (originally called the Commodore One) which is a very clever system indeed - a completely reconfigurable computer which can emulate on a hardware level almost any system you care to design.... obviously not modern systems - but if you want to emulate classic systems of the C64 era... then this will do the jobby

The standard C1 emulates a C64 (obviously!) and the Amstrad CPC - so should perhaps be of interest to the review writer

Quite an interesting system if you feel like getting your hands dirty in computer design....

A really nice little toy, but I am proud to claim an original C=64 my own (not only one but two, one of the 1st edition and one of the 2nd).
But if there were "Starflight" on this stick, I would buy it immediately, cause for me it was the most amazing game of this era and I was shocked when I realized, that my disk had a failure .
But there are other games, I definitely miss on this "new edition", like "Elite" for example (there are so many games, I sometimes miss when I sit on my PC today).

I've part of a C64 in my custom music system
