The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy is a 1990 arcade game produced by Data East, following the Run-and-Gun format, but with a whip instead of firearms.Set in Europe in the 1930s, players assume the role of Edward Randy, an Adventurer Archaeologist and blatant Indiana Jones-expy, who must defeat a Nazi-like criminal organization led by one General "Dark Ogre". |

Death from Above |
| | The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy (Video Game) / int_1c398324 |
comment |
Death from Above: One of the harder obstacles in the desert chase level. Prior to fighting the tank boss, the tank will blow up a nearby hill causing a shower of rocks to fall all around Edward, which he must either avoid or destroy (by whipping the rocks into pebbles before they can hit him). Survive long enough and Edward then faces the tank in a boss battle. |

Recurring Boss |
| | The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 |
comment |
Recurring Boss: "Dark Ogre", the Big Bad. Edward fights him in the first and last stage - he's relatively easy in the former since the boss arena is on a train with plenty of place to stand, while in the last stage Edward have to fight him atop a biplane, which greatly limits his movements. The giant robot that first appears in the mines stage seems defeated after it's inital encounter, only to show up in the very next stage, Not Quite Dead as the boss as well. It's second defeat is its last. |

comment |
Construction Vehicle Rampage: One of the bosses is a giant bulldozer mounted with various turrets, which will attempt to squash Edward under its wheels. Dodge it's initial attack, and Edward spends the entire level jumping above it's front loader while fighting mooks and damaging the bulldozer's center. |

Flash Step: "Dark Ogre" in the final stage uses this ability to dodge Edward's whip attacks, making the final battle suitably hard. He somehow lacks this ability in the first stage. |

Attack of the Monster Appendage: The giant robot in the mines stage spends most of the level lashing out at Edward with his fists, which Edward must parry with his whip. Causing damage to the arm will only make it withdraw from the screen, and the robot doesn't appear until the end of the level. |

Shout-Out |

comment |
Shout-Out: Being an Indy-Jones send-up, the game takes every chance it gets to reference the Spielberg films in each level. From the hero Edward kicking all sorts of ass with a whip, to the boat chases and tank battle lifted from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, as well as a desert chase scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark. |

Guns Are Worthless: Played absolutely straight, in that every single enemy soldiers use gun, which fires slow-moving, avoidable bullets which Edward can jump over. Their firing rate are painfully slow and are no match for Edward's whip. |
