Dark Tower (2026) by ToneDeF for Commodore 64. A text-based take on the 1981 Milton Bradley classic, built in BASIC and compiled. Curses, Pegasus and beeps that echo the old tower.

Finally set up our Dark Tower board game and played it with my wife, each of us playing as two people to test how long a 4-person game would last in preparation for taking it around to friends next week. Lots of nostalgic fun although a very random game with not much in the way of strategy you might expect from more modern games. Great for something made in 1981, though.

Auch beim zweiten Mal nach 13 Jahren, macht mich dieser Teil immer noch fertig… Vielleicht der beste Teil der Saga, vielleicht das Beste was King geschrieben hat. #darktower #rereading

I’m still amazed by how much the Dark Tower electronic game was able to accomplish with 64 bytes (not kilobytes) of RAM: https://troypress.com/dark-tower-the-tms1400/ #DarkTower #retrocomputing #retrogaming

Dark Tower.

It's been a long time since I put this all together to test it. I'd worried that I might have left the batteries in and that they might have corroded the workings of the game but no, I was sensible. Noisy, simple, delightfully nostalgic board game action from 1981.

For the attention of @mathzy and the next games night.

THE DARK TOWER: THE LONG ROAD (2009)
Acrylic - 30 1/2" x 22"

I've revisited the Dark Tower many times in my career and with each trip to Mid-World I find myself a little farther down the road in my own journey. 1/3

@CriticalMyth The only book series that I have read more often than the Dark Tower is Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's guide. But not by much.

I really love the dark tower books.

My buddy Kyle restored my broken Dark Tower, and we literally took it for a spin: https://troypress.com/milton-bradleys-dark-tower-electronic-boardgame/ #DarkTower #boardgames #RPG

#TodayILearned that there is another sort of prequel to Stephen King's #DarkTower series called "The Little Sisters of Eluria".
Guess I should set aside some time to dive back into the world of Gilead.

GUNSLINGER '88 ROLAND (1988)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30" x 20"

I was asked to do a cover for the trade paperback edition of THE GUNSLINGER by Stephen King. I'd done the dust jacket and all the interior illustrations for the limited edition, but this was the first mass market edition. 1/4

LEGENDS: THE GUNSLINGER (1998/2000)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 36" x 24"

Stephen King doesn't describe the tower in the early books of the Dark Tower series, but many of the main characters experience dream visions of the object of their quest. 1/3

THE GATE OF ELURIA (2014)

This was originally created for a title page in THE LITTLE SISTERS OF ELURIA. I left the area under the gate blank for the title lettering, and later it seemed the perfect entry point for Roland. 1/2

THE DARK TOWER: MORDRED (2003)
Oil on Panel - 28" x 18"

Painted for the most part during cold winter nights in Connecticut. I had no trouble visualizing the bitter chill of a frosty snow covered landscape...I just had to step outside for inspiration. 1/3

There’s hope for a #darkTower TV show yet, it would appear. With Amazon’s money, and Flanagan writing/directing it could really be something…

The less said about the last movie, the better, though…
