| Ice Climber | Nintendo | 1988 | As Popo, players use a trusty mallet to work their way up the mountain. They chip away at the blocks overhead, then jump up through the resulting hole to the mountain's next level. Once Popo reaches the top level, he enters a fast-moving bonus stage in which he can pick up veggies and, hopefully, reach the summit for a big point payoff. Of course, not everyone's supportive of Popo's pastime. Toppies fill Popo's holes, so players must jump through the gaps quickly. It's easy to slip off some of the icy levels, as Polar Bears, Toppies and other ferocious fauna don't want players up there. There are 32 challenging peaks to scale – players can face them alone or with a friend.***The Ice Climber Famicom Disk System version could only be obtained via the Disk Writer method where you bought an empty disk and could copy a game for a small fee at certain copy stations. The game is not a direct port of the cartridge version, but from the Vs. Ice Climber arcade game. The differences to the cartridge version from 1985 however are minor and I think this game lost the rest of its appeal over those three years. Its fun for a few tries, but you soon start to realize that the gameplay is rather dull and unspectacular. | labelimagesubject |
