Julius is his name.Demolition is his game.

Eight colossal towers that almost crack the sky! You and Julius - the Anurian Hybrid - are charged with the task of collapsing the alien towers. As Julius climbs and leaps across the face of each tower, he is confronted by potent and very deadly adversaries. Roving Hexalons, scanning I-Balls, orbiting Spheroids and dissolving pathways threaten you at every turn. Their mere touch will cost you your life! Yet, somehow, you must reach the tower's top in order to detonate your powerful D-Bombs.

Your courage, skill and determination will guide you to the summit of Castelian. Fire your Carbonobombs, catch the high-speed elevator, and escape into the doorways of the unknown. The island's future depends upon you and Julius. Watch him, learn his secrets and demolition will become your game!

TOWERTOPPLER

T*he head honcho over at Destructo Inc. headquarters has sent you to this alien-forsaken planet Nebulus, to do what you do best. Destroy stuff. Like towers taller than the Empire State Building. What the bone-head also neglected to tell you is that there are eight of these monuments hidden in the middle of a toxic ocean. And that to get rid of them, you've gotta work your way to the top of them. Plus one more itty bitty detail: The more towers you topple, the tougher the next one gets.* Embark on your MK.7 Mini-Submarine and give it a whirl. Or rather, let the towers give you a whirl. You see, as you twist and wiggle your way up (hopefully) each of these colossal columns, they turn with you. So the vantage point of the action shifts, too. Which you'll need when you come up against the myriad of obstacles standing between you and the top of the towers. Like indestructible mutant molecules. Crushing boulders whose very touch'll send you sailing back to sea level. Dark tunnels, and ledges that have a nasty habit of disintegrating the instant you set foot on them. You'll want to take full advantage of what little help you have. Like emergency elevator lifts. And a snowball gun that'll freeze the stuff standing between you and immortality. Yeah, yeah. You knew you'd have to fight your way up the corporate ladder when you started alright. But nobody ever said it'd be this tough. • Eight deadly towers to scale. Each with their own set of surprises. • Encounter indestructible mutant molecules, crushing and bulldozing boulders, dark tunnels, and slippery and disintegrating ledges. • Towers rotate 3 dimensionally giving a new sense of play and view of the game. TOWER TOPPLER. Another intensely fun game from U.S. Gold.

(captions)

*Hop into your trusty MK7 Mini-Submarine.

One false move sends you into sludge sea.

Conquer all the towers and be the hero.*

# Prepare a New Worldfor Civilization!(screenshots)

A serious problem is blocking attempts to colonize the otherwise life-compatible planet Nebulus: its water is poisonous! The only way to return the water to its harmless, natural form is to destroy the eight enormous towers that maintain a mysterious, lethal hold over all forms of this valuable resource.

Spurred to action by the needs of your dangerously overpopulated home planet, you must attempt to conquer these alien-forsaken relics once and for all. But it won't be easy! You'll have to climb each tower all the way to the top in order to detonate its vulnerable spot. And, succeeding towers are more difficult to topple!

You'll need all your wits about you to avoid huge, crushing boulders, giant eyes, and indestructible mutant molecules! And watch out for those slippery stairs and disintegrating ledges. One false step and you'll plummet to the depths below!

Good luck — the hopes of your planet go with you!
