Deadly Towers (1987) has earned a unique place in NES history — it's frequently cited as one of the most notoriously difficult and frustrating games on the console. The game sent Prince Myer on a quest to destroy seven bells in seven towers, but the confusing level design, brutal difficulty, and maze-like dungeons tested the patience of every player who attempted it. Broderbund published the game in North America, bringing the Japanese title Mashou to Western audiences. Despite its reputation, Deadly Towers has its defenders — and its infamy has actually made it more collectible, as gamers seek it out to experience the pain for themselves. NES history includes the good, the great, and the Deadly Towers. Enter at your own risk.
