Cliff Hanger is a laserdisc video game that was released by Stern Electronics in 1983. It uses animation from two Lupin III films, most prominently The Castle of Cagliostro, as well as The Mystery of Mamo. Like many laserdisc games, it is a reactive game which requires the player to press a button or move the joystick in a particular direction when prompted by the game to progress the storyline. The segments from The Mystery of Mamo use the original English dub commissioned by Toho, while the segments from The Castle of Cagliostro use a dub created for the game.
The game's plot is based very loosely on that of The Castle of Cagliostro, and follows Cliff (Arsène Lupin III) as he attempts to rescue Clarissa (Lady Clarisse d'Cagliostro) from the evil Count Draco (in some materials called "Dreyco"[1] and in the instruction manual "Dragoe"), who wants to marry her. Cliff is aided in his quest by Jeff (Daisuke Jigen) and Samurai (Goemon Ishikawa XIII).
The original version of Cliff Hanger features an animated sequence of Cliff being hanged at the gallows immediately following the "miss" animation sequence. The sequence was taken from the opening sequence of The Mystery of Mamo (where Lupin was supposedly hanged in Transylvania), plus a later scene in the same film. According to the instruction manual, a setting on the game cabinet's logic board would allow the individual owners/operators the option of not playing the sequence if they so chose.
Cliff Hanger was released as the novelty of laserdisc games waned, thus many cabinets were destroyed or converted over time. Unlike other laserdisc arcade games, Cliff Hanger can work perfectly on MAME as well as DAPHNE, a laserdisc-game emulator.
The game was considered for inclusion on the American Blu-ray release of The Castle of Cagliostro by Discotek Media, however, due to an inability to find the original contracts for the game, it was left off the release.[ - เกม

"mom, can we watch the new lupin iii movie?"
"we have lupin iii at home"
the lupin iii at home:
This is the real lupin the third
Heck Robotech was Macross at home. lol
LOL !!! Love the Eddie Murphy 'RAW' reference. CLASSIC
'Will the princess be forced to marry someone she can't stand?' I loved that line when I was a kid.
If you watch Lupin enough, you know that's every other episode for Fujiko.
@@JMFabiano At least until Part 5.
So did I.. 😂
The dub is so bad it's hilarious
"HEY, SAMURAI?"
"once again, i cut a worthless object"
The delivery of the lines is just so effortless
I DESPISE dubbed anime. Cept Starblazers
Have you been paying attention to 'Mystery Science Theater 3000?'
It's true that I've was a 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' fan.
You should've listened to the Dead pan janitor Joel Robinson along with his 2 robot buddies Tom Servo and Crow fling these wisecracks.
Joel Robinson, Tom Servo and Crow fling these wisecracks at the very worst sci-fi shows ever made.
Look, It's totally not Lupin The Third, The Castle Of Cagliostro!
Hayao Miyazaki's The Castle of Cagliostro as well as The Mystery of Mamo
@maycongabrielnascimento6421 *Whispers* That's the joke.
I am also responding to you 5 years later to state, "Well for that one chase scene it wasn't Lupin The Third: The Castle of Cagliostro at least!"
It is
Thanks for showing the entire game (I still remember it from the early 1980s, thought it very James Bond-ish, him peeling the creepy evil ninja fingers off his car while engaged in small talk)...A blast from the past.
Well, bond is one of the inspirations for Lupin the third, so it checks out
I was thinking that Jigen sounded like Cookie Monster.
And then he said this. 8:44
LMAO
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Played this game to death in 1984 at .50 cents per game and one of my all time favorites! Thanks for sharing!
Same here! I was one of probably only three or four people at a local arcade that could finish the game.
I spent a mint playing this at the mall back in da day. I played at 1.00 per chance!!!!!
An interactive abridged version of Castle of Cagliostro.
I really wish they had released this as a DVD or Blu-Ray game like they did the Bluth games. Maybe as a combo with the film.
Also Jigen's voice finally matches his chain-smoking.
Apparently they tried to put it on the Blu-ray of the original movie but couldn't get the rights.
@@TheAlexSchmidt actually they couldn't get the source code, it's full on lost media from what I've heard.
@@Trashmantrash no. They just couldn't find the rights. I remember one of the discotek producers even said as such in a podcast.
Still, surprised they didn't consider making a playthrough of the game and put that on the disc instead. Playthroughs are fair use, and any legal issues would be with the movie clips... which they have the rights to both films, so its a non-issue.
I disagree with your opinion on Jigen's voice. To me, he sounds too much like an ogre from D&D. I think the actor was trying too hard.
I remember when when my father took me to the arcade every weekend. I was 11 years old in 1984 beating this game at Peter Piper Pizza. I still remember all the moves. I never knew it was a movie called Lupin 3 and The Castle of Cagliostro. I just saw on Netflix a few days ago.
You should try checking out the rest of the Lupin series, it's mostly really good
Bruh the Lupin the Third manga is wild as hell he's the polar opposite of how he was in The Castle of Cagliostro
Wait. They just took clips from the movie?
Why not just watch the damn movie then?
Man's 50-
This games appear in The goonies.
As much as I dislike this game I have to thank it for introducing me to Lupin the Third
Same, also I must admit i prefer the manga dub to the streamline one. Sounds more natural to me
David Paul Kirk would definitely be having an opinion on this one, I'm not kidding you about it.
Sean Ross looks and sounds just like David Paul Kirk. He was a 41st Ave. Capitola Mall Radio Shack store clerk, back then in July 2013.
I know these guys by facial structure, there's always the dark side of relying on heterosexual domestic partnership.
I can tell that this game; skipped out a lot of parts from the 1980 Monkey Punch Japanese cartoon movie, 'The Castle of Cagliostro.'
Some money fell off on to a freeway from an armored truck in San Diego today, this video game was the first thing that came to my mind.
I have so many of the lines from this game in my head that surface at random times. I was 6-7 when this was in the arcades and this was the first one of its kind I was exposed to. It was utterly captivating to me as a child. Now that I clearly understand not only how these games were developed, but also the amazing and entirely original idea for an arcade-based business innovation - I love it even more. The instinct it takes to understand how magical this type of experience will be for children like myself, and to then be able to bring it to market, is a beautiful thing.
Lupin the Third must be rolling his eyes if he had to see *this*
It should be noted that the Helicopter scene from the Mystery of Mamo clip in the game uses some audio from the Frontier Enterprises dub, which is why the sound quality sounds different from the rest of the game.
Also if you listen close you can hear some of the original Japanese dialogue when using castle of cagliostro footage.
I never could get passed the "Ninjas!"
This game was the biggest quarter muncher of 1983.
This is Lupin the 3rd. I was just watching the movie on Netflix and decided to check out old LaserDisc games on TH-cam.
I just played this game at Galloping Ghost Arcade…I hadn’t even seen the arcade cabinet since probably 1989. Absolutely incredible to see and play it again!
I just came from there to play it. It was the most confusing experience playing a game i’ve ever had lol.
The movies are better though. Not trying to ruin your childhood or anything. I'm just speaking my mind.
2:15 MILLIONS TRILLIONS! it's counterfeit.
Could you imagine if they used these voices for the actual dub of the movies.
Stop
Actually, the scene with the helicopter chase is from an official dub of the first Lupin the Third film, Lupin vs the Clones aka The Mystery of Mamo. That dub was produced by the Japanese.
@@williamschwartz7428 Nice
NOW HE TELLS ME
@@DoctorEdgarMcQuack I don't think they like us.
idk whether to love or hate the terrible overdubbing in this
it amuses me how they didnt bother to remove the japanese voices
I was hoping for such a comment. 08:09
@@PandemoniumMeltDown THEY KEPT THE JAPANESE VOICES LMAO
@@SONICBOOM1889 No way around it there. Some things just can't be translated, like combat poetry.
This edit is so hard to watch after seeing the original films later on! (I can't imagine having to play through it with joystick taps)
This dub is the best I've ever heard. WHY DID THEY MAKE JIGEN SOUND LIKE THAT?
It's probably all those 🚬 Jigen smokes.
yeah, I don't know why they made him sound like cookie monster
Cliff's car is a 1929 Mercedes SSK. I drove a Classic Motor Carriages replica, a Gazelle, for MANY years. The rear end was slightly modified to accommodate the VW Beetle engine, but mine otherwise looked just like Cliff's, only mine was dove gray on the body where his was yellow. Same red fenders. Fun little car.
Interesting enough, “Cliff” is actually a Japanese anime character called Lupin the Third. He’s a master thief who steals treasures all over the world. In the first part of the footage from the film, “The Castle of Cagliostro” he drives a Fiat 500 with his partner, Jigen Daisuke. And yeah! As you pointed out, his other car is a Mercedes Benz SSK! Really awesome stuff. The movie the Mercedes is from, “Mystery of Mamo”, paid a lot of attention to detail in the cars it depicted.
This whole “video game” was just scenes from the anime movie “Castle of Cagliostro”. Almost no one in the US knew about Lupin or anime movies at the time, but they became really popular later.
also mystery of mamo, which was when you are driving away from the helicopter shooting at you
You know, he looks a lot different on Between the Lions than he does in this game, just saying. Also, I think that this game is, of all things, a special version of one of the classic Lupin the 3rd anime series that was adapted to the Laserdisc format, as the title character looks an awful lot like Arsene Lupin III and his friend looks an awful lot like Daisuke Jigen that is in the car. The third character with the sword is Goemon Ishikawa XIII.
This is a cannibalisation on two films: The Castle of Cagliostro and The Mystery of Mano. Some people claim this game was so horrible, Studio Ghibi banned future video game adaptations of their films. Also, Cliff is Lupin 3rd.
It is them they are just using film for financial gain: did you see lupin the 3rd part 5
@@jeremyriley1238 Why would Ghibli do that if Lupin the Third was never made by Ghibli?
@@sir.williamii5289 Because The Castle of Cagliostro was the first movie that Hayao Miyazaki directed. Not that I believe the rumor is true.
IT IS Lupin III, Jigen And Goemon. They just added clips from The Castle of Cagliostro and The Mystery of Mamo & dubbed over them.
I like how Jigen sounds like Dr. Claw
Supposedly Frank Welker dubbed this game
@@DoctorEdgarMcQuack They would never have been able to afford Frank Welker even back then.
Il miglior laser game in assoluto. Ricordi incredibili in salagiochi a guardare qualcuno più bravo andare più avanti. Era veramente difficile. Ma a rivederlo ora grandi soddisfazioni. Chissà se avessero fatto il gioco di Conan! Chissà magari esiste!
It's amazing to me now, looking back, that they literally just ripped off Lupin III to make this "game."
Well it’s not a rip off since Tms is apart of this game and it would have been called lupin instead of cliff if not for copyright issues we thankfully don’t have to deal with now
they did my boys so dirty
Good ol lazer disk

I was 9 when I played laser disc games. Though I love dragons lair and Space ace, cliff was my favorite. I'm still looking for a refurbished standup of Cliff.
I remember playing this at the arcade in the 80s. It was weird but I loved it. I'm 53 with sons of my own and their ps5 may have better graphics but different memories. Anybody remember the cowboy live action laser disc game?
Yep! "Mad Dog McCree" - aim and fire away!! 😊
"I can't explain. Don't follow me!"
"Cliff! Cliff!"
Been looking for the name of this game for years! Remember seeing it as a kid. They actually have the scene with the yellow car in the arcade scene on Macross/Robotech.
A samurai who just happened to be inside the sewer system jumped in the air and cut the blades off a helicopter.... think about that for a moment
Not that you need to explain how awesome Goemon Ishikawa is
I thought the same thing, but it turns out they're buddies.
I remember seeing this in the Goonies (Where Chunk sees the police chase)
wait! this has a weird connection. the goonies was produced by steven spielberg, so he decided which game to put in that scene. he chose cliff hanger! which uses footage from lupin III: the castle of cagliostro. and in my blu-ray of the castle of cagliostro, in the back of the box, THERE'S A QUOTE FROM STEVEN SPIELBERG!
I remember seeing this on starcade.
This is a blast from the past for real - I would think about this game often but couldn't remember the name of it. I too grew up in the Arcade rooms in the malls and spent many quarters before getting Atari 2600, Colecovision then an Apple IIe - I was able to find Space Ace, Dragon's Lar I and II on a CD and play on a DVD player but this and the other Laser Disk Game Cobra Command have been stuck in my mind for decades - I used to watch other people compete on Starcade which used to come on Saturdays
Timestamps for clips I enjoy showing others

@@yattibanks exactly
Unreal pull. Unless you know the startup screen by heart there are no other indications what game that was. I've seen Goonies a lot and never recognized the game. And I played Cliff a lot. Thx!
thank you so much for sharing this. I played this in a Vancouver trailer park arcade/rec room when I was 13 and fell in love with it. So much better than Dragonslayer. At least at the end of this game they would tell you "you should have gone right" or whatever. thanks again, super dubious moniker youtuber
Dragon's Lair
That is one annoyingly-large watermark
Remember playing this in the arcade with Dragons Lair and Space Ace.
I think it's interesting that they don't call Cliff a theif outright, yet they don't say he isn't either. Cliff Hanger is a theif, they just try to sort of downplay that.
That "oh noo!" always gets me
jigen sounds like doom guy and cookie monster's love chil
"MILLIONS, TRILLIONS"
"iT's CoUnTeRfEiT"
This game used to be at the Karcher Mall in Napa, Id; I was from Baker, so I only got to play this game once.
I miss Lupin (the cartoon on which this is derived, from Japan)
I don't since you can still watch it officially on TH-cam
Pops voted down for this video three times.
Not to mention Fujiko Mine too.
"What would you want instead of helicopters, flying saucer jets?"
Jigen sounds like a three pack a day smoker.
To be fair, he probably is a 3 pack a day smoker
my favorite part is that half way thru the game they just decide to throw in an unrelated clip from a completely different Lupin movie to pad out the game.
Man I want the soundtrack!
Look up yuji ohno that’s all his score
"Millions! TRILLIONS!"
"It's counterfeit!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
Lol! This dub is so bad, but also friggin hilarious. Jigen’s voice tho. Omg. I kinda love it! 😂😂
love this

Just watched Castle of Cagliostro on the big screen maybe a month ago (the first time in over 20 years). We had a fansub of it on VHS, and we'd do it at least once per year at the club. That helicopter though.. I'm pretty sure it's not out of Cagliostro. The Count did have an autogyro. I am familiar with the game - I never played it (didn't have enough money to spend on video games) but I watched others play. This was YEARS before I actually watched Cagliostro. This video disc rip was being distributed by one of the fansubbing groups back in the 1990s, so I've seen this before, too.
Yes, the scenes where Lupin is wearing a red jacket (as well as the hanging scene) are from Mystery of Mamo.
Anyone here because they were also listening to old episodes of the Rooster Teeth Podcast?
watching gameplay of this feels like watching a ytp
I could never get past the casino guards :(
Lol "Jump!"
Lupin the third game awesome
L'incorreggibile Lupin ed è vero
My favorite game
If I remember correctly, you don't actually control anything in the game but try to match YOUR moves to the CHARACTER'S moves. It removed the need to have the laserdisc pause to skip to the relevant part, but it also made for an uninteresting game (to play). The Don Bluth laserdisc games (Dragon's Lair 1 & 2 and Space Ace) were a huge cut above the rest. The lack of good content is one of the reasons that laserdisc games died out.
That's what made this game feel cheap. The one time I did get to play it as a kid I felt cheated how it doesn't give you any obvious cues like those games do. I tried it a few times got past the feet, feet, hands thing and that was about it. It was nowhere near as polished or immersive as Dragon's Lair or Space Ace.
@@omegasupreme5527 Yep. The problem was that Dragon's Lair was developed mostly in secret and appeared out of nowhere with this HUGE head start and other video game manufacturers were in a pickle to come out with SOMETHING as quickly as possible to compete. By the time they were able to put time and effort into making a worthwhile laserdisc game it was too late: The interest had substantially waned. The only other laserdisc game that I actually liked was Thayer's Quest, though I never finished it.
By the way, there's a laserdisc emulator program called "Daphne". have you heard of it or used it?
JustWasted3HoursHere The problem with this game is that, where the animation got Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace was made to be a game, this game just spliced together clips from 2 different movies and called it a day
@@notoriouspee2062 Yep. The problem was that creating a laser disc game with custom animation takes time (DL took well over a year) and they were in a pinch to get something out there to compete with it. I remember how it blew peoples' minds when it first came out. My brother was one of those people who could do the whole game on one quarter, so tons of people would gather around when he played. Those were good times. But it seems as quickly as it arrived the newness wore off and laserdisc games disappeared.
They could have just dubbed Castles of Castialgio into English and released it on video!
This game was featured in an arcade were Max and Millia where challenging each other in Macross.

This is just Castle of Cagliostro repurposed for the arcade.
Unreal badass
0:09 The cheesy intro monologue is really memorable though!
This makes me so GODDAMN. UPSET
Chris Iorio
At least I didn't blatantly steal it
OK Zenigata...
Because it's badly dubbed early anime?
Sorry it's just seeing quality lupin content be butchered like this is a surreal experience at best and an tragedy at worst.
As someone who was exposed to the original movies first, I'm not a fan of how this game portrays them. Some of the editing choices are... questionable at best. But hey, if people are acutally nostalgic for this game, I guess I can't be too mad. Still, I'd rather just watch the original films. After all, "Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro" is a masterpiece.
Lupin The third is based on a famous character of french littérature called Arsène Lupin, created by Maurice Leblanc.
6:51 That is not "Samurai". That is Guemon. Guemon was a real man in Japan; he was caught thieving and in the village there was a huge cauldron that all the food for the village was cooked in, and the cauldron had no name. Guemon was boiled to death in the cauldron, and from that time on, they called it a Guemon.
Goemon
Trust me, the dub that clip, the 1979 dub of mystery of mamo, is from is even worse for the character names
Jigen is called Dan Dunn
Fujiko is named Margot
Zenigata is detective Ed Scott
Mamo is mamaux
And goemon is samurai
The only character with the same name is Lupin himself
I wish we could see the input signals
13:05
Aw! It should have been "No more Mr. Nice Guy"!
Once again i cut a worthless object. Some days you just don’t want to get out of bed. Very funny
Jigen what have they done to you?!
Don't you mean "Jeff"?
No Death Scenes?
Oh no? 15:07
Here's what my wisecrack wasn't for this game; "hey you maggot, you've just wrecked my Police helicopter and now you're going to pay big time."
This game is super hard !!!

This is now a running joke between me and my freind, it's so bad 💀
What year did this series came out?
I’ve seen this on Toonami right before I fell asleep
And this does seem interesting
I believe Toonami's aired part 2 (1977), part 4 (2015), and part 5 (2018).
The footage from Cliff Hanger was taken from the first two Lupin films, The Secret of Mamo (1978), and the Castle of Cagliostro (1979).
Jordan3D Huh.....I see
I wonder what year the series cliff hanger came out and how popular it became :\
@@masterdrewt6698 The Cliff Hanger arcade game came out in 1983, and from what I read, it probably didn't do too well. Laserdisc games were on the decline due to a slew of low quality releases (Cliff Hanger being one of them), and it seems like a ton of the Cliff Hanger machines had to be repurposed into other games due to a lack of sales.
At the very least, it's a funny little piece of Lupin III history that's good for a laugh.
Jordan3D cool
The characters are from the Lupin III tv series & movies. (Did many Americans know that in '83? Probably not.) 😁
Many more would not know either that Lupin The third is based on a famous character in french littérature called Arsène Lupin, created by Maurice Leblanc.
@@julienbraudel7109 You're quite correct. Just why Lupin the 3rd is Arsene Lupin's grandson is--as far as I know--never explained in the TV series, films, or the manga--it's probably left to the viewer's imagination.
Then again, I could be wrong. 🕵🕴
There was a dub of Mystery of Mamo for Television that was made in 1979.
Amazing this was never ported to Android or ps3
I believe discotek media did originally intended to add this to the blu ray release of castle of cagliostro but the original rights for the game (and possibly the source code) were lost. Would of been cool to experience this piece of history

@@WillRobinsonDanger That’s true, I just took it sorta literally
Just love how this game totally turned the wise-thinking, scheming, criminal Lupin III from the movies into this totally dorky, but sweet and likeable "Cliff" character! ("Wow...she's bootiful...whoa...she's in trubullll! 😄) And I hate to say it, but it makes Jigen look like some totally brain-dead gimp-ish dork rather than someone who's there to save Lupin's ass in all kinds of dangerous situations!! 😝 Those aren't accusations - just observations of how, by taking things out of contexts, you can get a totally surreal / unreal result!
THAT all being said - the idea to take "Castle of Cagliostro" plus the scene from "Mystery of Mamo" and editing it together into a game just was brilliant on so many levels. I'd also say it's second-rate animation compared to "Dragon's Lair" or "Space Ace" (which also had distinct, custom-created death scenes vs. the more generic ones of "Cliff"), though not as campy as something like "Super Don Quixote" or your standard Saturday morning cartoon. So, Kudos to Stern Electronics on a job well-done. 😉
