ROC 'N ROPE (COLECOVISION ADAM CV)

Your player is a mountaineer who must avoid cavemen, dinosaurs and pterodactyls when climbing the cliffs. Your objective in each level is to climb and reach a mystical bird with great plumage, while staying one step above the bonus timer which determines how long you can stay on each level. The Mountaineer has only one ability; to pull a rope at 45 degree angles which he can then climb to other platforms. His other action is a stun ray that will allow him to dart past enemies who get too close; but will only work horizontally from it. As for the power-ups, at each level there is (usually 2) a flashing diamond power-up that will make him invincible and allow him to defeat monsters. Also, as a power-up, there are shiny treasures that are worth extra points.

Your player also cannot fall, except for extremely small falls, unless they are able to climb down vines. This means that when you pull on your rope and climb it, you are vulnerable. Especially since enemies are allowed to "shake" the rope until you fall if they reach the base of the rope. Pterodactyls fly overhead and lay eggs on the player.

There are 4 distinct levels; the cliff, the windmill, the waterfall and the peak. Completing all of these levels will restart the game with faster enemies and power-ups located in different locations.
