Clif Danger

About

You play as Clif Danger a spacefaring hero who answers a distress call from Queen Swihip of Pleasure 6. This DOS platformer tasks you with running shooting and leaping through 20 stages to free amazons trapped in energy plugs while fending off Glox invaders. Each level offers basic weapon upgrades and a roster of 12 enemy types to dispatch. The focus stays firmly on twitchy action over story with minimal dialogue and straightforward objectives. The game’s charm lies in its no-frills approach and oddly specific premise of rescuing amazons from sci-fi bondage scenarios. Released in 1996 it remains a niche pick for DOS enthusiasts looking for a brisk arcade-style challenge. The lack of complex mechanics keeps it accessible though the dated graphics and repetitive level design may test modern patience.

Storyline

In Clif Danger players control the titular protagonist who flies through the galaxy with his spaceship when he receives a call for help by the amazon queen Swihip. Her planet Pleasure 6 got invaded from the rather hostile Glox so it is up to him to save her population.
