Hmmm, I am not sure about that one. In License in the atarimania entry, it is written beta. Also, a quick look online does not play in favour of this being an actual release. I'll need to investigate more though.

If anyone has more details, feel free to tell.


Thanks anyway.


Edit: Idd, seems the game was not released, although a prototype version has been dumped:

links to:

which mentions:

So how come Tower Toppler was never released? According to the programmer (who also did the Atari 7800 version), Atari decided to stop supporting the Atari 8-bit game market and pulled the plug on the project. Atari may also have been concerned the Tower Toppler's odd artifacted color scheme looked quite nasty on the XEGS, which was Atari's main 8-bit game machine at the time. Although it has long been assumed that Tower Toppler was destined for release in the UK, the game was actually developed on an NTSC machine and has issues when played on PAL systems (such as no colors and it crashes during the bonus round). No matter what the reason for its cancellation, Tower Toppler is a wonderful game and an excellent edition to the 8-bit library

I'll mention this version as a note in the entry.
