Gold Cliff is a multi-screen Game & Watch game about collecting treasure. The player controls an archaeologist and scales disappearing platforms in ancient ruins. In each set of 4 levels, the first 3 require the player to grab a key on the right side of the ruins and take the key to the top left to continue. In the 4th level, the player must grab a sword on the left side of the ruins and take it to the top. At the top of the ruins, an enemy will move; to defeat it, the player must press the D-pad to stab the enemy when it is directly above it.
