Game Details

As the crazy climber, you must climb up the four 200-story Nichibutsu buildings, one at a time.

You score points for each step you move up, starting at 100 points per step for the first building up to 250 points per step for the fourth. At the end of each building, you can grab onto a helicopter for bonus points.

by madmatt7. Comment: "Superbly different and enjoyable. The game also proved to be a very good workout. After conquering 3 buildings or so, your hands and wrists felt like they've climbed a skyscraper." (2002-09-18 17:20:12Z)

Crazy Climber Memory Map
CRAZY CLIMBER HARDWARE DETAILS AND MEMORY MAP by Lionel Theunissen. 08/01/97) Please don't take any of this information as gospel. This is what I have gleaned from my analysis of the CC ROMs and circuits, and I could be wrong about a few things. Some of it is best guess, but most of it should be correct. Bear in mind that it was quite a while ago (3 years) that I was originally working on this, so coming back into it I'm a little fuzzy on details. VIDEO: The video circuitry for Crazy Climber is

Please note that if anyone does use this info for their own CC emulator project I do ask that credit be given where credit is due. I'm not asking for any money, just to be acknowledged in the emulator credits. It was a LOT of work to crack this:- As for the decryption algorhythm, a few things; There are two sets of ROMS in the tant archive (Brian Peek's mirror).
