Ice Climber

 This post is about Ice-climber.

History

Ice climbers was released as part of the Nintendo Vs. System, a series of game cabinets where more than one person could play the game, and compete against the other player. It was developed by Nintendo and R&D1. It was directed by Kenji Miki and produced by Masayuki. The music was composed by Akito Nakatsuka.

Gameplay

The basic concept of Ice Climber is as follows: You play as a boy named Popo. You must travel through many mountains to get back your stolen vegetables from condors. As you travel through these mountains, you must complete a special bonus stage with a 40 second time limit and many precarious jumps. You will face enemies such as seals and condors. The condors can be defeated by jumping into them.

Review

I LOVE Ice Climber. This was on of those games that I would play over and over again, but never got very far in. Overall its one of those mindless games that requires so little strategy that you can play and play but never think about. But in a good way. ★★★★
