• Tower of Babel is a 1986 puzzle-platformer by Namco where you climb 64 floors of an ancient tower.
• Archaeologist Indy Borgnine seeks the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon at the tower's summit.
• Indy faces enemies like Ur (a ghost) and Babelz (a monster that makes blocks) during his ascent.
• Players rearrange L-shaped blocks to build stairs to exits, consuming "Power" with every lift.
• Exclusive to Japan for decades, it was finally released globally in 2023 under the title Mystery Tower.
• The game offers deep, strategic puzzles across 128 total levels, including the difficult "Pro" mode.
• While the BGM is highly praised for its quality, the lack of variety can feel repetitive during long sessions.
• A major hurdle is the "Big Password," which requires solving a cryptic mystery with no in-game hints.
• Overall, it is a puzzle masterpiece celebrated for its simple controls and demanding mental challenges.
