Cliffhanger is a game released for several platforms in 1993 and 1994, developed by Sony Imagesoft as a tie-in to the 1993 Sylvester Stallone film Cliffhanger; ports for Sega's Mega Drive, Mega CD, and Game Gear were released in 1993. You play as Gabe Walker, who must fight a group of terrorists trying to stop you from saving your partner Hal, who they kidnapped after the two of you went to answer a distress call from a crashed plane. The 8-bit and 16-bit versions are different:
Contents
8-bit Gameplay
8-bit versions of the game are all side-scrolling platformers. On the Game Gear, jumps and
punches.
16-bit Gameplay
16-bit versions of the game are all the beat-em-ups along the same lines as Streets of Rage. On Sega platforms, either punches, picks up a weapon, or uses it,
kicks, and
jumps, with combination moves possible. This version of the game was developed using the source code from the game "Ex-Mutants" (also developed by Malibu). The Mega CD version also has a 3D avalanche-escape level and low-quality FMVs of various scenes from the motion picture.
