Play Cliffhanger (USA, Europe) Online

Cliffhanger came out for the Game Boy in 1993, developed by Spidersoft and published by Sony Imagesoft. It was one of many licensed games from that era, based on the Sylvester Stallone film, and it fit right in with the platform's action oriented library. You control Gabe Walker, a mountain climber and rescue ranger, who must stop a group of thieves from stealing millions in treasury bills from a remote U.S. Treasury plane wreck in the Rocky Mountains.

You move screen by screen, punching and kicking enemies while navigating precarious jumps and climbing sections. The main objective is to survive each stage, defeat bosses, and ultimately thwart the heist. Signature mechanics include using your ice axe to climb certain walls and careful timing to avoid falling into bottomless pits. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty can be unforgiving, especially with the limited continues. It feels tense and demanding, pushing you to master each risky move.
