Crazy Climber - Legacy

Legacy

• In 1981, Bandai Electronics manufactured a hand-held VFD version of the game.
• The game has also been ported to the Atari 2600 and the Japanese Famicom.
• A Japanese-only sequel, Crazy Climber 2, was produced in 1988. The game was essentially identical to Crazy Climber in gameplay but featured more sophisticated graphics and a few new features.
• On February 3, 1996, Hyper Crazy Climber was released only in Japan for the PlayStation. It has similar gameplay to that of the original game but also a few differences. Players can choose between three cartooney characters, each with their own strength/speed attributes. Several buildings can be selected from a Bomberman-style map screen, including an underwater building, a medieval clock tower, a haunted skyscraper, and a beanstalk. Power-ups are also used.
• On March 2, 2000, Crazy Climber 2000 was released for the PlayStation. This is more of a remake of the original arcade game using 3D graphics for the first time. A notable feature is the ability to turn corners and access different sides of the buildings, which now have a variety of designs (including one with a cylindrical, tower-like shape). The game included the original port of the arcade Crazy Climber and a scan of the instruction panel. Like Hyper Crazy Climber, Crazy Climber 2000 was released only in Japan.
• On July 21, 2005, Japanese publisher Hamster released the arcade version of Crazy Climber under their "Oretachi Geasen Zoku Sono (オレたちゲーセン族)" classic game line for the PlayStation 2.
• Another sequel or remake, Crazy Climber Wii was released for the Wii in Japan on December 20, 2007, but no North American or European release date has been confirmed.
• The arcade game was later re-released on the Virtual Console in Japan on February 23, 2010.
