Crazy Climber has the honor of being the first Atari Fan Club exclusive game. Why Atari decided not to make this game available to the general public is unknown, but due to this Crazy Climber is one of the rarer games in the 2600 library. Perhaps Atari thought the game had limited appeal, or maybe it was a marketing ploy to get people to join the fan club? Either way, many players were denied access to this fun and decidedly wacky game.
Crazy Climber is a vertically scrolling video game produced by Nichibutsu (Nihon Bussan) and released for arcades in 1980. In North America, the game was also released by Taito America. Ports for the Arcadia 2001 and Atari 2600 were published in 1982, followed by the Famicom in 1986 and X68000 in 1993.
