In which I play "Canyon Climber", published by Datasoft in 1982, and programmed by Tim Ferris. For what amounts to a Donkey Kong rip-off, from a certain (correct) point of view, the game is a lot of fun to play. I think that speaks to the general game concept being a good one, and fun if well-implemented.

It feels like there is improvement to be had, even though I wasn't able to get past round 5. I belatedly realized that probably something had changed about the speed of the arrows, in order to throw off the player. If I'm correct about that, it's subtle and reasonably clever.

I recommend giving this a try.
