Cliffhanger adapts the Sylvester Stallone action film to Mega Drive with its perilous mountains and the climber in danger. The 16 bit conversion offers platform action with film inspired scenes but gameplay stays repetitive. Pleasant for film fans, in line with cinema tie in average.

Collector interest

A film tie-in published by Sony Imagesoft in 1993, this mountain platform-and-combat hybrid rode the then-hot Stallone licence. The European PAL version, in a clamshell, had narrower distribution than the US release, making it the trickier one to assemble complete. The title holds value chiefly as a period movie licence, prized by enthusiasts of Mega Drive film tie-ins.
