Data East Corporation • 1990


Step into the boots of Edward Randy in this fast-paced action game from Data East Corporation. Released in 1990, The Cliffhanger blends platforming challenges with thrilling vehicle sequences, putting players in control of a character reminiscent of Indiana Jones. You'll navigate inventive levels that alternate between standard side-scrolling platforms and dynamic 3D environments where you pilot a jeep to fend off attackers. The game’s core mechanic revolves around using a whip – both as a weapon against enemies and as a grappling hook to reach distant areas. As Edward Randy, players will face various obstacles and adversaries across the varied landscapes. A cinematic score accompanies the on-screen action, enhancing the feel of an adventure film. The Cliffhanger supports two simultaneous players, allowing for competitive or cooperative gameplay utilizing an eight-way joystick and two buttons to control Edward Randy’s movements and whip attacks.
