Nebulus  Hewson1987Weird things are happening on Planet Nebulus. Someone or something has begun building huge towers on the sea floor without a construction license. Your mission is to ascend each of the eight cylindrical towers, passing various obstacles along the way, and to trigger the tower's destruction mechanism to demolish the evil threat. Praised upon its original 1987 release for its graphical innovation, this is considered to be the most outstanding game from Hewson. Don't miss out on this classic favorite. C64labelimagesubject
Nebulus  Hewson1987The original version. Move left, right and jump around the tower while dodging and/or shooting obstacles or enemies in this side strolling platform game with a twist; a literal twist. Instead of the the screen scrolling, the tower rotates. For gameplay this means a lot less of the world to the left and right is visible and there are no left or right boundaries. You can circle the tower indefinitely, provided to platforms are in place to allow it.
While the official spelling is actually Nebulus, is is very commonly mistakenly called Nebulous. The Nebulous spelling is actually used for some of the many clones.
