Action packed laser game. You must guide Cliff Hanger through Ninjas, car chases, helicopter chases, underground scuba-diving, castle climbing and a clock tower, fighting to save a lovely woman named Clarissa from the evil plans of Count Draco.
This game is very fast paced in some places, which makes it even more exciting. The game gives optional hints at the bottom of the screen regarding whether you are to make a joystick move or push a button.
