* NintendoHard: The 2D games have reputation for being tough, mainly stemming from [[RespawningEnemies the never-ending supply of Aliens]], [[ResourcesManagementGameplay having to manage the finite supply of keys, credits and ammunition]] and a number of [[TimedMission self-destruct sequences]] that put your routing/memorization skills to test.

* {{Narm}}: The CD version of ''Tower Assault'' featured a live-action intro sequence, something which wasn't really common at the time of the game's release. However, due to terrible acting -- further hampered by poor audio quality which makes part of the dialogue near-unintelligible -- it's hard to take it seriously.

Once Original Now Common is about works whose influence makes the original seem quaint. The genre has actively moved away from games of this type since release, making it archaic rather than influential.
