Towering Inferno
26K plays 1982 #Action
Towering Inferno is a 1982 action video game developed and published by US Games for the Atari 2600. The game is based on the 1974 film of the same name, and was produced under a license obtained from 20th Century-Fox by Quaker Oats (the parent company of US Games) for the video game rights to the film. The player controls a fireman going through a burning skyscraper to save victims and put out the fires.
The game was designed by Jeff Corsiglia and programmed by Paul Allen Newell, who also programmed the Vectrex port of Scramble and co-designed and programmed the maze algorithm serving as the basis for the 2600 game Entombed.
