Some test footage from a restoration I did a while back of an original Milton Bradley Dark Tower game from 1981. (Replaced a bad dc/dc buck converter)

This game came out during an odd, short period of time when microprocessors were cheap, but LCDs were not out yet. So you had this computing power available for games, but no way to display output cheaply and portably.

Dark Tower solved this using a spinning drum and lights to show the action, along with an LED numeric display. Here we see a battle between 10 warriors and 5 Brigands (spoiler, the Brigands get their asses kicked)

In the 21st century the United States perfected the "Star Wars" missile defense system, completely eliminating the threat of nuclear attack. The country quickly grew complacent and isolationist, allowing its conventional military to decline. This ended with the simultaneous invasion on three fronts by the Asian Peoples Alliance, the Euro-Socialist Pact, and the Central American Federation. (Fortress America, a Gamemaster Series big box game by Milton Bradley, 1986) Around 1987 the game was reprinted with the main figure on the right repainted with a beard and sunglasses to look less like Suddam Hussein:

Both versions feature a lower Manhattan skyline with the WTC in front of Mount Rushmore as central images of US freedom, between the Golden Gate Bridge and Monument Valley.

Fantasy Flight Games released a redesigned version of the game in 2012.
