The Tower Defence Computer Game
Tower Defence is an award winning strategy computer game whose main aim is to prevent the 'enemy' from crossing certain points and is achieved by building towers which shoot at the enemies as they approach.
The player earns money or points whenever he defeats the enemy and the points are used to upgrade/buy more towers.
Positioning the towers is the main challenge as it determines whether the player will have an advantage over the enemy if he correctly anticipates the moves of the enemy.
The history of the game goes back two decades ago in 1990 when it was started as an arcade game whose mission was to defend castles by placing cannons and making repairs whenever attacked.
But with time the game has changed to use of user-created maps instead.
