Description

Chasm Escape is a 1-2 player arcade game for the 8-bit Atari.

The player controls a small character who moves laterally, and can jump to avoid arrows which come from the left of the screen. The player runs along platforms to reach ladders, and attempts to climb to a higher level. If the player is hit by an arrow 5 times, it's game over. The goal is to climb as high as possible. The player can choose from 9 speed levels.
