Veteran mountain ranger partners Sylvester Stallone and Michael Rooker part company over who is responsible for the fatally failed rescue of Michael's girlfriend. Eight months later, returning to the Colorado Rockies to face his demons and reconcile with girlfriend, Janine Turner, Sly is manipulated into aiding and abetting the heist of a U.S. Treasury plane at the menacing behest of supervillain, John Lithgow. I've never trusted him since watching Santa Claus the movie so knew what to expect from Cliffhanger. In order to survive the precarious ordeal, Michael and Sly are forced to put their smouldering differences aside to tackle a common enemy. A few in fact, including that muscly bloke from London's Burning, Craig Fairbrass.

Released to coincide with the movie in 1993 were various console and computer video games. Here my focus is the latecomer to the party that left us dangling for a further year; an action-platformer developed by Spidersoft and published by Psygnosis for the Amiga. Is it as reprehensible as the YouTube ranters would have you believe? Does it bear any relation to the movie that's most notable for its accomplished cinematography and breathtaking scenery?
