It is on ColecoVision and Atari 2600 as Roc'N Rope.

and it's a lot like levels 4 and 5 of Matterhorn which came years sooner in 1984.

There is another title for this game on Commodore 64: "Cave Climber". It also exists on C64 as "Rock 'n Rope"

This is an excellently balanced platformer (albeit obviously an unlicensed clone of Roc'n'Rope). I had the pleasure to play it on ABBUC Bundesliga #8/05 and was able to achieve the second highest score.

It does look a lot like Roc 'n Rope, but I haven't been able to find anything about an 8 bit port. It's basically the same game with 8 bit graphics. It's actually looks a lot like the arcade version of Roc n' Rope. Thanks.

Looks like a Roc 'n Rope clone to me. I never knew there was an 8-bit port.

I believe this game had a US release under another title. A friend of mine introduced me to this game the same day he introduced me to Beach Head and Star Wars. It's an interesting twist on the single screen platform formula, throwing grappling hooks and climbing from ledge to ledge. This game is still as fun today as it ever was. If anyone knows about the US release of this game (or if there was a super similar game to this one that I'm thinking of) please comment.
