Personally I feel that the problem of confusion around the series originates from gamers not owning the physical copies of the games and not taking time to learn the back history of how this amazing series grew from an obscure Japanese oddity to a horror game collectors most sought after series. I’d like to kick off this main series with an overview of the games themselves and then follow up with a more detailed look at each game in its own episode.

However, I personally see so much misinformation and just all out crazy beliefs being shared about the series I couldn’t help but try and put the record straight. On the surface this series seems simple enough to collect. The premise is almost always the same with a scissor wielding villain stalking groups young girls. A series that has risen to popularity with collectors in recent years is the Clock Tower series. Although I collect just about everything from classic microcomputers to arcade systems one of my favourite areas of collecting has always been horror games. I’ve always tried to keep the focus of this show on collecting rather than just reviewing games. Greetings and welcome to this special 6 part miniseries of the show. To make sense of collecting this classic horror gaming series I’ve broken the games out by region so collectors can find what they’re looking for and not over-pay to get these items in your collection. In this episode I look to cover the rather confusing chronology of the series from its origins right through to its spin-offs and spiritual successors. The Spiritual Successors: Haunting Ground/Demento and NightCry This week I look at the history of the Clock Tower Series covering all of the main games including Ĭlock Tower 2/Clock Tower Struggle Within/Clock Tower 2 Demo: PS1

Today’s retro game review is a massive 6 part Halloween special. Insert Disk collects Clock Tower for the Super Famicom and PlayStation 1 (PS1). Clock Tower Series Retrospective Part 1: Clock Tower Chronology
