* CondemnedByHistory: At release, ''Deadly Towers'' not only had decent reviews, but was quite a commercially successful game; Up to two years after its release it was appearing high in the monthly sales often, even beating out some first party Nintendo titles. In the decades since however, the reception its had is almost unanimously bad, and is one of the likeliest to appear on any "Worst NES Games" list. Comparing the reactions it had between release and now is almost like looking at two different games.
