Tower of Babel / 2012-08-26 20:19:04Tower of Babel is a computer game for the Amiga, Atari ST, and Acorn Archimedes by Pete Cooke, developed by Rainbird Software, and released by Microprose Software in 1989. It is a puzzle played on a three-dimensional tower-like grid viewed in vector graphics with filled polygons. Tower of Babel is a great puzzle, some being quite difficult to solve... There are several differently-configured 8x8x4 towers (four floors of 8x8 squares each).
StoryThe plot is loosely based on the biblical story of the Tower of Babel. During its construction, the Tower caught the attention of a passing Zantorian spaceship. The Zantorians descended and left three spider-like robots to help the Shinarians build the Tower. However, distrust broke out among the two species, and the Shinarians betrayed the robots, stealing their energy packs, their klondikes. Playing the robots, it is the player's job to find the energy packs to be able to get back home to Zantor. |
