    So far, I have found 6 Dungeons, the Parallel World, 4 of the towers
    and a shop outside of the dungeon.  I have collected 270 life hearts,
    Shield, Chain Helmet, Blue Glove, & Hyper Boots (still don't know
    how to use these yet)
    
    The dungeons are a real blast. (ha ha) I am currently working
    on one dungeon and have explored over 150 rooms.  I still haven't
    found any shops, but I did finally manage to find the room with
    the exit back to the overworld.
    
    
    I think this game is great....  
    
    If anyone needs any pointers I'll be glad to help you with what
    I have found so far.

    Mark,
    
    	How are the graphics in this game (as compared to Zelda and
    Metroid - the 2 you mentioned)??
    
    
    Galv

    
    	I personally think that the graphics are just as good as both
    Zelda and Metroid.  As a matter of fact once you get to the towers
    the three dimensional effect is pretty realistic.  Walking up the
    stairs is tricky, but once you learn how to walk diagnolly its not
    so bad.  Yes this came has eight way movement, this in itself is
    fun.

    Well over the weekend I managed to capture one of the bells from
    a tower.  I have also now increased my life power to max (299)
    
    Found the Gauntlet (which is the most powerful glove you can get)
    Found the Hyper Helmet which helps to strengthen your defense and
    lower the amount of hit points.  I also found the parallel sword
    option.  I'm not sure if I like having this weapon because it
    seems to slow down the rate of your fire power.
    
    I'm still working with the short sword which is a pain because like
    Zelda it seems to take forever to kill off an enemy.  Is anyone
    else out there playing this game or has played it.  I wouldn't
    mind getting a hint on where I might find a more powerful sword.

    Well last night I was able to conquer my second tower.  I also found
    the Hyper Armor and the Dragon Slayer sword.....At least now I can
    get around easier without be killed right off the bat.  I also have
    covered every square inch of dungeon one.. except for one room which
    is closed.  I have a sneaky suspicion that I will need to find the
    blue scroll. (this scroll warpds you inside the dungeon and it hints
    at being warped to a closed room) of course you will then need 
    something else to warp you back out.
    
    	Am I the only one playing this right now????  where is everybody.

Well yesterday I defeated Rubas, the ending graphics were very good and
of course there was the list of credits that scrolled acrossed the screen.

Lots of strange changes happen once you capture your first three bells, 
but I won't say what they are here so I don't spoil your surprise.  I ended the
game having found all the special weapons.  I never did figure out though
how to use the Hyper Boots.  

One hint I will give you is that you won't start to find the stonger
potion until you have captured at least three bells.  I guess they figured
you wouldn't need it until then.

For those that do get this game and would like a hint here and there, you 
can send me mail, or ask here in this note.

       Have to enter a favorable rating for DT.  Eric's rating notes are
       generally quite similar to what I would give but I think he is much
       too harsh on this one.  I agree that there is a fair amount of
       repetition of rooms but that probably is necessary as there are
       over 2000 different locations in this game.  That is a lot of
       ground to cover and we spent well over a hundred hours mapping and
       solving this one.  Remember that the password feature allows you to
       power off and restart some other time with all the weapons, life
       and things that you've collected so far.  At times it was just a
       grind, but at others there were enough "hearts in throat" to make
       it worthwhile.  I would definitely buy this one again compared to
       half of the 30 that we have gotten.

       Small hint - There is a tendency to avoid the parallel worlds
       because they are too tough and it's too easy to get killed off.
       Don't!  No Pain, no Gain.

    Any info on where to find Deadly Towers, I can't seem to find it
    in any store.
    
    Thanks
    
    Ray

    Any body have any hints on finding more powerful armor or swords?
    I've been playing for about a week and still only have the short
    sword and chain mail helmet.
    
    Any hints or info would be apreciated.
    
    Thanks

    Re .11:
    
    I don't have the game anymore and so do not recall the details, but
    smash all the rocks -- you can jump into them with your helmet and use
    some weapons against them.
    
    
    				-- edp 

    I think -edp- is talking about Athena.  In Deadly Towers, there
    are two main places to get hi-grade stuff.  Buried in each maze
    are 2 to 6 shops that sell different things.  Primarily this is
    the lower level of upgrading.  There are also Parallel Worlds where
    the perils are many but the rewards are great.  The entrances are
    not marked on the screen.  If you cross the spot on the screen,
    then you are in the maze or parallel zone, whether you want to be
    or not.  It's up to you to find the exit.  Mapping was a must for
    me.

    I love this game!  I'm not very good - but I love it.
    
    So far all I have is the chain helmet, bronze shield and some kind
    of sword I bought in the first dungeon.  Obviously my defenses leave
    alot to be desired.  I think I have found about 6 of the dungeons,
    but I'm not sure if I know what is meant by, or if I have been in,
    the "Parallel Worlds".
    
    Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
    
    Thanks,

    Charlie,
    
    Thanks for the offer but I can't get through to your node.  I'll
    keep trying unless you have another suggestion.
    
    Linda
    
    
    P.S.  I found a secret room but I can't get what is in there out.
          Help!!!!!
    
    P.S.S.  I burned a bell!  I burned a bell!  But I think I blew it!
    

    I believe you've found one of the parallel worlds.  I've found it
    best to stock up on "medicine", get in, grab and use immediately
    if it is a new weapon/armor.  That way, if I should happen to die, 
    the new equipment is permanently with me.
                         
    Parallel worlds are more or less identical in appearance to the
    normal world whence we came from.  The inhabitants however are much
    more numerous and villainous, for sure.
    
    Congratulations on ringing your first bell.  Heady experience, isn't
    it?

    THE BEST WAY TO BUILD UP MONEY AND HEARTS IS TO FIND A ROOM IN ONE
    OF THE DUNGEONS THAT HAS A POLE WITH THE BALL ROTATING AROUND IT.
    ONCE YOU'VE FOUND IT ENTER FROM THE SIDE DOOR AND SHOOT IT FROM
    A DISTANCE. THEN KEEP ON GOING IN AND OUT OF THE ROOM UNTIL YOU'VE
    GOT ALL THE STUFF YOU WANT.
    
      MOST OF THE DUNGEONS ,HOWEVER, ARE NOT WORTH GOING INTO. I 
    CONQUERED RUPAS WITH ONLY EXPLORING 1 DUNGEON FULLY AND ANOTHER
    PARTIALLY. 
    
      ALMOST EVERY TOWER HAS A PARALLEL WORLD OR SECRET ROOM, THATS
    WHERE TO FIND THE STUFF YOU REALLY NEED.

    I have found this game to be both challenging as well as discouraging.
    The challenge part comes mostly from trying not to get killed (the
    discouraging part), but unfortunately for me, I am getting more
    discouraged than I am challenged. I have read through this thread
    of notes, and it appears to me that once you have built up your
    strength (hearts) and weaponry, then the game become more stratigic
    then just staying alive. However,  I have not as yet gotten to this
    point, and it is most dishearting to play for an hour, build up
    my life heart storage to 255, but only collect 140-150 hearts only
    to get wiped out early in each game. What I am looking for is a
    hint as to how I can at least get started without meeting a (too)
    early demise.. 
    
    Thanks,
    Frank.

	Well, after a week worth of assault, I finally completed this game.
	I have had it for a considerable amount of time, but had shelved it for
	others.

	The game does get more interesting as you go further along. Note
	the more power you get and more bells you burn, more details appear
	in the dungeons and on the walkways, BUT, the enemy gets more
	aggressive. I found patience to be the key. Take the time to stock
	up in the shops before launching your attack. As mentioned in
	previouse notes, the more powerfull items are found in the secret
	rooms and parralel worlds.

	Hints or spoilers available.
	I'll try to help if I can.

	Steve.

    	From the beginning:
    	Enter the first door

    	Kill the dragon. (Its easy)
    	Go straight again ((North)Hidden entrance near wall)
    	Go straight once more to ball room (North)
    	There is a shop to the right of this (East)
    	There is another 5 or six rooms to the left (West)

    Can anybody tell me how to kill that stupid ^&*78% thing that protects
    the bells! I can't seem to kill him before he kills me. Any help
    would be greatly appreciated.

    	Not too sure which one your speaking of but they area all "about"
    the same. You need patience and plenty of power. Stock up on the
    blue bottles of life (or red?) and attack with your best sword.
    Obtaining the best armor doesn't hurt either...
    
      You will find there are some "dead" spots where the "thing" does
    not shoot. The screen gets pretty active but there usually is a
    spot or too not being hit. Stand there and just keep firing.
    Somtimes just moving around can help. Just stay out of the firing
    patter.
    
    	I found the most success when shooting diagnally, but mabey
    that was where the dead spots were.
    
    	Have you gotten the double sword yet? That doubles up the damage
    you do.
    
    	Also, don't leave the room and come back in. He "it" regains
    full strength when you do that. Just "hang in there" and find a
    spot not being attacked. The last screen only gets harder, but it
    			      CAN BE DONE!!

    Steve

    Steve,
    
    I do load up on the red bottles before I go into the room, I have
    also have found a good dead spot but can seem to menuever the con-
    troller to shoot diagonally! I have found some shops with some stuff
    in them but nothing realy helpfull as far as armor and a good sword.
    Do you know where I can find any of this stuff?
    
    						Thanks for your help,
    
    							Jeff

    
    You shoot diagonally in the same manner you walk diag up the stares
    to the tower. As far as getting the stuff, you will find the program
    gives you what you need (minimal) in each tower. Search for the
    parralel worlds and hidden rooms. There you will find what you need
    just lying on the floor. (the trick is to get it and use it before
    you die). These rooms etc. are found by searching the edges of the
    outside and inside of the towers. Much as you find the dungeon by
    mistake, you will find these zones. As I remember, there is at least
    one in every tower. Some are outside, others are inside, search
    all around.
    
    What you don't find by accident will be for sale in the shops as
    you gain more experience (get further along). The game really starts
    to get interesint once you've burned a bell or two. Once you get
    the swords and armor it gets easier too.
    
    I started working counterclockwise from the third tower to the left
    of the holy flame. Any starting point should do though.
    
    Steve.

       I have some questions:

       Can anyone tell me where I can find some armor.  

       What does the magic key do? 

       Where can I find a parallel world, besides in the towers?

       Thanks, 
       Tom
    

    I can get to the top of the tower with all my life, but a green
    "BEAR" shoots fire balls and it only takes one or two hits and then
    I'm dead.  Is this the easiest tower???  Is there anything that
    I can do stop getting killed so fast???  
    
    CASPRO::MINEZZI
    
    

    I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ,DOES ANYONE UPDATE THIS FILE?
    I HAVE DEADLY TOWERS TOO AN I HAVE BEEN ASKING THE SAME
    QUESTION AS THE PERSON NOTE 32.24
    COULD SOMEONE HELP US OUT.
    
    THANKS KEITH

    re .26 and .24
    
    You can find leather armor in the dungeon by the dragon.
    
    The only parallel worlds and secret rooms are by the towers.
    
    It takes alot of time but keep trying the parallel worlds because
    you can get everything you need in them.
    
    good luck,
    
    greggers

    
    I don't remember reading about it in this note, but I believe that
    oneof the old issues of Nintendo Power has a code in it that will
    start you off with max power. (double sword, max life, etc.) The
    only problem is I can't remember which issue it was in. With over
    2000 rooms to map the code makes the game a little more exciting
    and kills the boredom factor. Happy hunting.
    
    
    SPOILER;
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I am only using my memory when I say this, so if i am wrong let
    me know and I'll try to find the correct code.
    Memory says if you  replace the first two letters of the password
    with FE you will have the double sword power.
    Start the game,die, get the password, replace the first two letters
    with FE and have a ball.
    
    

    

    I FOUND EVRYTHING I NEEDED IN AND AROUND THE TOWERS.I STILL HAVE
    ONE QUESTION, WHAT IS THE MAGIC KEY AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
    I APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP EVERYBODY HAS GIVEN IN THIS NOTES FILE.
    THANKS KEITH
    
    
    

    
    	Just bought Deadly Towers this weekend and it really is a tough
    game. Some things I don't understand, maybe I'm just thick. Here goes.
    Is there some way to save your money so when you die or switch off you
    can have it for your next game? And we tried the FE trick with the
    password and it didn't work. So any ideas guys?! We already mastered
    Zelda,and my six year old is doing pretty good at that but when we
    sit down to play this game he won't have anything to do with it!
    Who can blame him? We need help!!!! Please send spoilers!!!!!!!!!
    

    The FE trick does work. It will not give you any money or magic,
    but it will give you max firepower ( double sword, max shield etc.)
    it has to be entered when you first start the game. I.e die asap
    and get password then take that password and change the first two
    letters to FE without changing the rest of the password.
    
      There is no way that I know of to save ludders (money) or items
    bought in the dungeons. Sorry!!
    
      If the FE trick doesn't work for you after this, then it is my
    guess that they may have removed that feature on more recently
    manufactured game packs. (mine is an old one) Keep trying.
    
      I put the spoiler in full view this time because it has been
    A problem for other players as well. Be very careful that the password
    is correct before starting the game.

    HELP!!!!!!!!!
    
    I've had this game for about a yearor less,I can find a thig.I found
    a dungeon(how I don't know).Found a store(lucky shot).I'm telling
    you I'm stuck!Can anyone help me out?I manged to get in some place
    that has a flame at the top of a stair case.Where am I,and where
    do I go now?Any help would be apperated.
                                              Thanks,
                                                     Paul

    re .32
    
    Paul, I also have had this game for a long time.  I finally
    decided to attempt a map of the dungeon(s).  I found the first
    dungeon had over 150 rooms and I still hadn't explored all of 
    the entrance ways.  I did manage to get to an exit leading up
    towards the tower - however before reaching the tower and bell
    I ?fell? into a secret room where I consistently got murdered.
    Finally went on to Dragon Warrior.  Am still planning to attempt
    Deadly Towers when and if I get more proficient with mastering
    the maps needed.
    I guess this really doesn't answer your plea for help, but at
    least you know your not alone.

    I have also had this game for over a year.  I became frustrated so I
    decided to let a friend borrow it to see if he can succeed where I
    failed.  He promptly returned it about a month later having completed
    it (much to my amazement).  I haven't played it much but here are a few
    things to be aware.
    
    	1.  Be careful when charting dungeons - they overlap side to side,
    		up and down.
    
    	2.  Dungeons and some stores are invisible (in game booklet).
    
    	3.  Parallel Universes in tower section (I believe that is in the
    		game booklet as well).
    
    Maybe if we are nice to our co-moderator (I won't mention your name)
    he can help us out a leetle beet, eh??
    

    Thanks alot Steve  :-)
    
    Seeing there is only 3 co-moderators, sooner or later you would find
    me.
    
    Well lets see what I remember of that game....its been over a year.
    
    first hint!!!  
    
    
    	Don't mess around in the dungeons...your wasting your time 
    and you won't find that much.  I used the dungeons mainly to build
    up life potion (or whatever it was called).
    
    Second hint!!!!
    
    
    	You'll find everything you need in the towers....look for the
    hidden room within each tower entrance you will find certains pieces
    of weapons and protection.  Find the secret room before you take the
    bell.  Once you get that bell the door closes and you can't get back
    in.
    
    
    	Hey Steve, do you still have that game??  Maybe I should pay you
    a visit someday and show you how its done.
    
    Mark
