''The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy'' is a 1990 arcade game produced by Creator/DataEast, following the RunAndGun format, but with a ''whip'' instead of firearms.
Set in Europe in the [[Main/TheThirties 1930s]], players assume the role of Edward Randy, an AdventurerArchaeologist and blatant Franchise/IndianaJones-{{expy}}, who must defeat a [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazi-like]] criminal organization led by one General "Dark Ogre".
----
!!''The Cliffhanger: Edward Randy'' contain examples of:
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Edward Randy, the game's Indiana Jones CaptainErsatz, complete with his trusty whip as his personal weapon.
* AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage: 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.
* BookEnds: The game's first and last stage have Edward battling "Dark Ogre", the leader of the Nazi-like terrorist organization. When defeated the first time, he pulls a VillainExitStageLeft and the stage just ends.
* BuildingSwing: Edward can swing from one area to another by grabbing ledges with his bullwhip. Especially handy in the boss battles on the train, the tank, and the fortress-sized excavator.
* ChaseScene: Every single level runs on one of these, with the very first mission throwing Edward in the middle of a boat chase in the canals of Venice. Later on there's a vehicle chase in the desert, and an aerial chase involving biplanes.
* ConstructionVehicleRampage: 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.
* DeathFromAbove: 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.
* FlashStep: "Black 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.
* GunsAreWorthless: 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.

* ShoutOut: 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 ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'', as well as a desert chase scene from ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.
* SteppingStonesInTheSky: The plane chase level have Edward jumping from the wings of one exploding plane to another. Miss a jump, and Edward lose a life.
* TankGoodness: The desert chase climaxes with a boss battle against a tank, lifted from ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''.
* ThisIsADrill: The hovering robot boss in the biplane chase stage attacks Edward with a pair of extendable drill arms.
* WeakTurretGun: Probably exeggerated, Edward can destroy the turrets in this game by whipping. Two or three hits should suffice.
* WhipItGood: Edward's preferred weapon, which somehow deals far better damage than the ''firearms'' used by mooks. He can even damage enemy vehicles and take down a HumongousMecha using said whip!
