awwww man so close! i thought you were going to make it! i played the hell out of this game back in the day. i forgot what to do with the baby birds. could you post it with the game sounds? :)
(1986) Ahoy!/Ion International, Inc. for the Commodore 64. I love "climber/climber" games. Crazy Climber (1980) Nihon Bussan (plus many of the port to home consoles/PC's), is a favorite, as are 2 more C-64 games, "Fire Trap" (1987) Electric Dreams Software, & "Climber!" (1985) Computer Gamer [Argus Specialist Publications Ltd. I love the TI99. It had some amazing graphics for the period.
Has anyone ever seen a screenshot of the yeti? I used to play this game all the time but never could get to Everest. Entertaining to a point, but quickly became extremely frustrating.
Thanks for posting this. This game was a lot of fun. The skunks gazing you, the yeti, the snakes, the yeti, this was so dope back then ! I used to play parsec a lot too.
I think if you made it to the top of Mt Everest you see the abominable snowman riding some skies from right to left. After you finish the mountain you start back on Mt Hood but it is WAY harder.
WOW.....does this bring back some memories. My dad bought a TI when they first came out. I believe it came out before Apple IIe. We had one of those too. HOW we have advanced is amazing!
Did anyone ever beat this game? I'd get so frustrated on the last level. I think this was the first video game I hated. Showing the climber as he fell all the way down was particularly sadistic.
The greatest game ever made in the history of mankind! Not really! Probably the first game I ever played and there was never another game like it. Made me laugh harder than any game I ever played. I used to kick the bear on the butt and my character would die. I thought this was really funny at age 7. And the speech
synthesizer and the graphics being a slow 16-bit this system still blew everything else away at the time.
Gah, I had this game...

I love it! Perfect combination of the game with this piano music. What is it? This is one of the earliest games I remember on my first computer.

Which came first? This or Crazy Climber?
The music you chose goes suprisingly well with this game.

Yes! The abominable snowman would make an appearance. Scared me as a kid and when I told my brothers they didnt believe me.

No speech sythesizer? I could never make it up Everest myself. Anyone see the yeti? I never did.
dmowski 3 years ago
I have the speech synth just my recording program didn't do audio. I've figured out a better one now but I haven't redone the video.
