In 1982/3 I lived in Portugal and used to play a very simple arcade game whose name I can't remember.

The screen layout of the game consisted of protuding 'land mass' going up in levels up the left and right hand side of the screen.

The object of the game was to get your little man up to the top from the bottom by means of firing a rope at one of the land masses and then climbing the rope.

Simple enough, the catch was that there were some dragon or dinosaur shaped creatures who would kill you to the touch and if you happened to be on the rope climbing would shake the rope until you fell into the abyss. These creatures would appear at random on the land masses.

From this crazy description can anyone help me identify this game so I can see if it is available through mame.

I used to be seriously hooked on this game!

Many thanks in advance,
A daft Brit!
