random I think, though it warns you.. LOOK OUT!

[NardDogz]

I love it!

Which came first? This or Crazy Climber?

The music you chose goes suprisingly well with this game.

[arcadeshopper]

Crazy Climber 1980

Alpiner 1982

Crazy Climber for the win :)

[worldofkris]

This was the first computer and first game i ever played...I have fond memories of this...wheres the music though??? I loved the music!

[arcadeshopper]

I will be redoing this with sound soon :) My video recording set up didn't do sound when I made this.

[dmowski]

No speech sythesizer? I could never make it up Everest myself. Anyone see the yeti? I never did.

[arcadeshopper]

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.

[snarf23]

Gah, I had this game...

[TheWrongwing]

heh, loved having the voice synthesizer for this game :)

[dassedare]

What´s the name of that music? really great!

[czolgolz]

That takes me back. It was better with the speech synthesizer.

[NeoTifasRevenge]

This game is relentless... I could never beat Everest, always got mowed down by the Yeti LOL :)

[gadwin45]

[TheTechieKris]

[unicronrocks]

Awesome video!! I remember this game, it was epic....

This game kinda reminds me of "Mountaineer Mack"

(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.
