IGN: The Tower of Druaga Review

IGN writes: "The Tower of Druaga is, to me, woefully boring and pointless to play.

I'm sure the title has its fans here, and Japan still seems to love it after all these years -- there it's been the recipient of several sequels and even inspired a recent anime series. But if you do choose to spend five bucks to begin scaling this tower, well, good luck with that".

At a guess, and based on the initial line-up, I'd expect lots of cheap oldies from the dawn of gaming, but won't hold my breath for any sprite-busting favourites from the late eighties and beyond."
