Towering Inferno on the Atari 2600 is one of several firefighting games on the console – and firefighting can always be harrowing. But the plot & game mechanic of this one is singularly terrifying.
The disaster film, The Towering Inferno, starring Steve McQueen & Paul Newman, was released to theatres in 1974, and nearly a decade later, US Games obtained the video game rights from 20th Century Fox.
