0.64 [Bryan McPhail]

0.36b5 [Testdriver]

WIP:

- 0.174: Temp fix to regain speed in Edward Randy and clones (and quite possibly more) by commenting select logerrors that are spammed unmerciful causing extreme performance degradation (machine\deco146.cpp) [Tafoid].

- 0.149u1: Begin creation of modern DECO 146 device with info from Charles MacDonald (machine\deco146.c). Hooked up the new DECO 146 sim side-by-side with the original in Edward Randy, it does seem that chip had the same functionality even if it was marked differently. I haven't yet removed the old Edward Randy sim because I'm still testing [David Haywood].

- 0.144u7: hap fixed missing clouds gfxs in Edward Randy.

- 0.122u3: Brian Troha added 'Two coins to start?' dipswitch. Changed description to 'The Cliffhanger - Edward Randy (World ver 3)' and clone (World revision 1) to 'The Cliffhanger - Edward Randy (World ver 2)', (World) to 'The Cliffhanger - Edward Randy (World ver 1)' and (Japan revision 2) to 'The Cliffhanger - Edward Randy (Japan ver 3)'. Renamed (edrandy1) to (edrandy2) and (edrandy0) to (edrandy1).

- 0.109u1: Patrik Styrnell added clone The Cliffhanger - Edward Randy (World). Fixed rom names. Changed description of clone (Japan) to 'The Cliffhanger - Edward Randy (Japan revision 2)'.

- 0.64: Added 'The Cliffhanger - Edward Randy (World revision 2)' (Data East 1990) and clones (World revision 1) and (Japan).

- 26th January 2003: Bryan McPhail fixed a small bug in the Edward Randy raster effects.

- 24th January 2003: Bryan McPhail sent in a large DECO16 drivers update, adding Edward Randy and Mutant Fighter / Death Brade, added support for raster effects used in Edward Randy and Robocop 2 road levels and abstracted the Data East video chips emulation.

- 0.36b5: Bryan McPhail added (Testdrivers) Edward Randy (World) and clone (Japan).

History

Arcade Video game published 29 years ago:

The Cliffhanger - Edward Randy (c) 1990 Data East.

A fast moving platform game in which the player controls the Indiana Jones-esque and unfortunately named 'Edward Randy'. The levels are an inventive mix of standard platform action and 3-D scrolling levels; the latter usually having the player driving a jeep and repelling the enemy attacks. The game is based on the archetypal Hollywood action blockbuster and features a filmic score to back up the on-screen action. The player's only weapon is a whip - another nod to the Indiana Jones character - which can be used to both attack enemies and as a 'rope', to enable the player to reach distant platforms.
