does anybody remeber 'Cliff Hanger'


That’s the first time I laid eyes on Lupin III and didn't even know who he was. 'Cliff Hanger' was a laser-disk game, similar to Dragons Lair & Space Ace. I used to play that game for hours at the local Pizza Parlor back in my home town. I used to love that game. Basically the game used parts of 2 movies from Lupin III...Castle of Cagliostro, and Mystery of Mamo. At that time I had NO idea they were even movies. Years later I was watching some obscure channel on our satellite dish that played Japanese anime shows...Well the opening scene was two guys lowering themselves from the side of a building with a bag of loot in the dark (because that was the same scene from the opening of the video game I used to love 'Cliff Hanger'. I said to myself this looks familiar...then it clicked...HOLY $@#%! I was ecstatic...I think that next day when I found out the title of the movie I went to a Suncost and sure enough they had Castle of Cagliostro on VHS. At that time the Japanese section was like one little shelf...it's funny to think how they take up a whole wall now. So since then I’ve been a Lupin III fan ever since :)
