Crazy Climber
Crazy Climber is a 2-D, strategy style game. The game is strategic in
the fact that you must plan your moves as you climb up the building
and anticipate the hazards that await you. You start out the game at
the bottom of a building to be scaled. As you climb up the building,
you will be assailed by bald people throwing flowerpots, signs with
loose electrical wires, very large apes, falling signs, trash and
barbells, and a bird that likes to drop bad things on your character.
Your goal is to make it to the top of the building and catch the
helicopter, which will transport you to the next building to be scaled.
Of course, you will be rewarded for quickly making it up the building
by getting a bonus (that is as long as you can catch the helicopter).
The things one does for publicity.
(arcade-history)
Main inspiration for the concept of the game was probably the 1923 Harold Lloyd movie Safety Last! with a bit King Kong thrown in for good measure.
In 1988, the game was remade on 16-bit hardware as Crazy Climber 2.
