Based on the 1993 action film, Cliffhanger is a side-scrolling beat ’em up and platformer from Malibu Interactive for the SNES. You control rescue ranger Gabe Walker, battling through the freezing peaks of the Rocky Mountains to stop a ruthless group of mercenaries. The game mixes traditional brawler combat against armed thugs with tricky mountain climbing and jumping sections.
How to play
Navigate the treacherous terrain and fight off mercenaries using hand-to-hand combat or by picking up dropped weapons. Be prepared to avoid environmental hazards like falling rocks and avalanches along the way.

Tips
- Use jump kicks: Enemies can quickly drain your health in close combat. A well-timed jump kick is often the safest way to knock them down.
- Grab dropped weapons: Disarming an enemy and taking their weapon (like a knife or gun) gives you a huge advantage when outnumbered.
- Take your time on cliffs: Rushing through the platforming and climbing sections often leads to a fatal fall. Move carefully.
