Toppler

topplericonTower Toppler, aka Nebulous

macOS  port of the free software version of Nebulous, written by Andreas Röver
For the official homepage of Toppler, please see http://toppler.sourceforge.net

You know you played this on your C-64 or something when you were a kid. This is a very exacting clone that has all the features of the original (including simulated 8-bit graphics for the main character!) and then some. If you liked the original, you’ll love this version as well.
