Eskimo Games
Eskimo Games takes the winter sports multi-event format and emphasises the
winter rather than the sports. Operation Snowball is similar to the arcade
game Cabal insofar as it resembles Operation Wolf but adds a roll manoeuvre.
You must fire snowballs at people who are trying to make a catapult, and
destroy the shots they aim at you.
Eggsterminator places you at the top of a cliff, which has 5 ledges
containing a bird ‘s nest. Birds will periodically land on these and lay eggs,
which you must collect. Contact with the birds themselves causes you to fall
and lose time. Ice N ‘Igloos involves using your axe to collect ice, and
taking it to your incomplete igloo to complete it. Avoid the seals, as contact
with these costs you time.
Miami Ice is a clone of Tapper, except that instead of beer you are serving
ice cream to people. From one side of the screen you must ensure that each
line has enough ice creams sent down it to match the number of people coming.
Also ensure that you are ready to collect the empty cones when these are
returned. Evidently, the taste of wafers is not popular near the poles.
The final event is not present on the C64. It is Barbearian , a one-on-one
fight with a polar bear. The ice melting away sets the time limit in this
game.
