Game #19 - Crazy Climber

----------------------
Game Name : Crazy Climber
ROM Name  = cclimber
----------------------

Settings:
   Lives: 3
   Rack Test: Off
   (Normal/Default)

Controls:   
Joystick: 2x 8-way

From Arcade-museum.com:




"Play human fly and scale a building while avoiding a wide variety of falling objects. Get picked up by a chopper at the top and do it all over again."

"The game has four buildings and they are each 200 stories high. The names of each building are Nichibutsu, Nichibutsu Leisure, Nichibutsu U.K. Ltd. and Nichibutsu U.S.A Corp., respectively.
The player uses two 8-way joysticks to control each of the climber's hands during the game play.

The object of the game is to climb all the way to the rooftop of each building and get carried off by a helicopter."

This game chosen in honor of my recent visit to Funspot, where one of the sticks was shot, so the game was barely playable. 

The contest ends on Sunday September 23, at midnight, PST.
GO FOR IT!

Those controls are not for me. Even though I know how they are supposed to work, I can't control the guy properly. Pass.

This used to be my jam as a kid, & then again as an adult...although my shoulders get wicked tired--I'm so out of shape...

Had time to play 2 games while I ran the lawn sprinklers.

Garnered 94,450. Pretty good, but dig my high of 225,400!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,
-Jason

Oh Nooooooooo!

Stepped it up to 137,950. Might be the first time making it to the fourth building as an adult. Got the balloon once tonight - didn't help as much as I remember it doing as a kid.

I haven't had any time to play save for a couple of goes last week.  Couldn't even crack the score table, and missed the picture in time.  Sorry for the no-show from me, nexusmtz.

And we close this one out with:

nexusmtz - 137,950
jasonbar - 94,550
