An Iguana vertical racer that looks like nothing else. You climb spiral towers as spherical characters, grappling hook in hand, with a mix of acrobatics and brawling. The idea is genuinely original, the execution a bit rough, but the result truly stands apart.

Collector interest

A one-of-a-kind vertical racer from Iguana, published by Acclaim in 1998 in the US. Players climb spiraling towers with a grappling hook in an acrobatic, scrappy blend with no equal on the system. Original yet obscure, it sold poorly, and sealed copies are now very hard to find, driving the new price sharply up while loose stays affordable. A niche draw for the curious.
