Crazy Climber was the original vertical climbing game released in 1980 for the arcade and Atari 2600 system. Nintendo took notice and launched its climbing competition Donkey Kong in 1981. The sequel Crazy Climber 2 launched in Japan eight years later. Hyper Crazy Climber is another Japanese only game that was released for the PlayStation in 1996.
One of the zanier games MonkeyPaw Games has imported, in Hyper Crazy Climber players climb (and climb some more) on a variety of buildings and structures. The goal of each level is simple: start from the bottom and make your way to the summit. You’ll need to watch out for falling rocks and other obstacles, otherwise reaching the top of the level will be impossible without precise timing.
Hamster Corporation, the company behind the Ninja Jajamaru-kun game for 3DS, will bring Japanese arcade games to PlayStation 4 this spring.
Punk and Lizard write: "Some last minute legal hurdles caused an unfortunate delay to Hyper Crazy Climber, the fourth title in the Retro Rush event."
I love old-school games like this one!
