''Deadly Towers'' is an ActionAdventure game for the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem, developed by Lenar and released in Japan by Creator/{{Irem}} in 1986 and in the U.S. by Creator/BroderbundSoftware in 1987. It was originally to be titled ''Hell's Bells'' to match with its Japanese title ''Masho'' (trans. "evil bell"), but executives at Nintendo of America insisted that the title be changed[[note]]Despite the obvious pun, there's no evidence that Nintendo was afraid of a lawsuit from Music/{{ACDC}}[[/note]].
