Tower of Fear Tower of Fear is a text adventure by Charles Forsythe. The goal is to enter the Wizard's Tower of Fear, get the treasures, and escape alive. The Wizards who dwell in Graylock, powerful necromancers, caused terror in the hearts of all. As the years passed, they gradually succumbed to death - but some of the most powerful ones delayed it by hiding themselves in huge towers, beyond the sun, beyond time, surrounding themselves with magic. But eventually, death came for them still. The last of these was Blackheart Firethrower, with an awesome fortress that none could penetrate. Some say his undead spirit still roams in his Tower of Fear.

The game contains a single graphic screen at the beginning (a drawing of the tower) and only exists of text against a blank background for the rest of the game. [source:mobygames]
