Bloons Tower Defense (Game)

Bloons Tower Defense (or Bloons Tower Defense 1) is the first game in the Bloons Tower Defense Series. It is a Tower Defense (TD) game which has unique towers and bloons (called Bloons) as enemies. There is only 1 track in this game, and no selectable difficulty. The highest ranked bloon is the black bloon/white bloon. It contains two yellow bloons inside, but later it contains two pink. In this game the bloons are very off-centered. (Bloons are away from the very center of the track.)

 * The RBE of the entire game is 30160.
 * You can only have 7 un-upgraded Super Monkeys or 4 upgraded Super Monkeys in the game at one time.
 * The Dart Tower is called Dart Monkey and Tack Tower is called Tack Shooter in later BTD games.
 * This is the only BTD game that has no difficulty levels.
 * There is only one track in this game, unlike later BTD games.
 * This is the only game where you can beat the game using only sharp objects, due to Lead Bloons being in BTD 2 and on.(This doesn't count BTD4 & 5 in particular because of the explosive darts premium upgrade that allows dart monkeys to pop frozen and lead bloons.)
 * There is a glitch where if you place 2 tack shooters too close to each other, both will not shoot.
 * It is possible to win with only Dart Towers in this game.
