Title: Tower Defense Games
Post by: roflmao on July 14, 2011, 12:26:00 PM

During Steam's recent Summer Camp promotion, I was able to score the expansion packs for Defense Grid for free, so now I'm back playing that game way too much.  Last year I played all the way through Gemcraft: Chapter 1 (http://armorgames.com/play/1716/gemcraft) and played through a good chunk of Chapter 0.  (I've never spent so much time playing a free Flash game) I love this style of gameplay. 

I know that Rampart is considered the grandfather of this genre, but were there any other tower defense games released for 8/16-bit systems?

Looks pretty cool!  I'll be keeping my eye out for it.

Seconded! Although I never cleared it, I had a lot of fun with it.

So were there any other good Tower Defense games back in the day?
