Crazy Climber on NES is one of those weird, frantic arcade ports that somehow just works. You play as this little dude scaling a skyscraper while everything tries to knock you off—angry window washers, falling flower pots, even rogue helicopters. The controls feel janky at first (you use both D-pad directions to move each hand), but once it clicks, scrambling up while dodging chaos gets weirdly satisfying.

It’s pure 80s arcade nonsense—no deep story, just climbing higher until something inevitably kills you. The music’s this repetitive synth loop that somehow makes the panic funnier. If you’re into old-school games that don’t hold your hand, this one’s a riot for short bursts. Just don’t expect to last long on your first dozen tries.
