Tower Toppler 4-22-87

This is a late beta for the 7800 version of Tower Toppler that was found on the same disk as the final version for the Atari XE (the disk was labeled 'FINALTOP').  The prototype is nearly the same as the final with a few small exceptions usch as the level skip cheat being missing.  Although this nearly complete  prototype is dated April of 1987, the actual game wouldn't be released for over a year and half finally hitting store shelves in January of 1989!

Prototype Differences

The music when starting a level is different

The rom is 128K whereas the final is 64K.  Much of the extra space is empty though and simply hasn't been compressed yet.

The internal header still calls the game Nebulus

The level skip cheat is missing

Each level is a different color	The bonus screen has several layer of parallax scrolling
