Crazy Climber found in the wild

[Parrothead]

So went to the So Cal swaps a few weeks ago and picked up a small Atari lot with Atari 2600 Jr. system and a handful of games. I guess I paid no attention to the games as I was mainly interested in the Jr. So I paid my $14 to the guy and walked off with the system and games. Got them home and left them in their bag until a week went by and then I went and opened the bag to pull everything out, clean it off, sell some of it and keep some of it. That is when I noticed one of the games was a Crazy Climber. I was totally stunned and totally surprised.

 

I wondered how I could have missed it but usually silver label games are pretty common, so I just paid no attention. So I played Crazy Climber for the first time on the 2600 a few days ago when I found it. Wow! What a great conversion of this game. I am addicted to it and almost like playing it more than the original arcade. Anyone else here think it was a great port?

Great score. Nice to always find something when you're not looking. A fun game, to be sure, but I gotta believe that the dual joysticks in the arcade make for a more enjoyable control scheme?

Ya, I have owned the cocktail arcade version and really liked it. The Atari 2600 version does work surprisingly well with the single joystick though.

The cheapest crazy climber I found silver on ebay was 85 just game and no box and with box 300, 400, and 525. So 14 is a good steal. Enjoy the game.

Did you get the purchase on tape? I'd love to see it on your show.
