By 1991 Klax had appeared on many systems. Atari's Lynx advertising in Electronic Gaming Monthly's August 1990 issue offered Klax, "The latest arcade mega-hit from Atari Games", with 100 levels; Game Player's capsule of June 1991 lists Tengen's Klax for the NES, NEC, Genesis, Lynx, PC, Amiga, ST and 64. In May 1991 Nintendo Power listed Klax among the Game Boy games coming from Mindscape.	`p. 87 (image 89), Klax capsule`	Magazine
In the NES version, as the American magazines of 1991 describe it, aliens have ringed the island of Jemmerville, on the planet Centrus, with towers: seven are built, and the eighth would doom it. The player is Julius, who climbs each tower and topples it, shooting or avoiding the creatures on it, and plays a bonus round of gem collecting after each tower.	`p. 74 (image 76)p. 74 (image 76)p. 74 (image 76)p. 74 (image 76)`	Magazine
Game Player's reviewed the NES version in June 1991. Gary Meredith called it "a close translation of a British computer game called Tower Toppler", frustrating to play, but with cute graphics and a unique look from the rotating towers.	`p. 74 (image 76), bylinep. 74 (image 76)p. 74 (image 76)p. 74 (image 76)`	Magazine
