Loosely based on the 1974 Irwin Allen film of the same name, Towering Inferno puts you in the role of a fireman extinguishing flames in a burning building. But instead of standing on the outside of each building spraying water through the windows, like in Imagic's Fire Fighter, this game puts you inside the building, where you must put out the rapidly moving flames. There are nine floors in each of the nine buildings, each with a different maze-like floor plan.
In addition to fighting fires, you must also rescue the people trapped inside. You score points for every flame you put out and for every person you rescue. Each floor has four helpless victims, and you begin each floor with four firemen. The game ends when you get touched four times by flames on a single floor or when you fail to rescue at least one survivor within a certain time limit.
