I do like this game but the framerate just seemed a bit too slow for my old eyes. Dunno why... but I always wondered how a STe version might have turned out as this game (as is) is great.

Codename: ICEMAN is a techno-thriller akin to something written by Tom Clancy, and ambitiously claims to be part simulator as well as adventure game. Unfortunately, the Sierra Creative Interpreter (SCI) interface was not well suited to that task, and the "simulator" portion of the game is a bit clunky.

If you can overlook that, however, Iceman is as solid an adventure as anything Sierra ever published. It's long, interesting, and has plenty of wonderful art. The copyright protection scheme requires judicious use of the manuals; I don't know if a cracked version exists that allows one to skip the codebook sequence (it was so integral to the game that I doubt it).

Definitely worth a few hours exploring this one. Download the manuals and connect your Roland MT-32, this is one of the Sierra titles that makes use of it.

Game was written by Jim Walls, the author of the first three Police Quest games. There was intended to be a sequel but it was never realized.

Certainly my favorite game growing up. I spent countless hours exploring every inch of the Drahew Cluster. Part RPG, part action, and with much loving attention to small details.

Cheat: Start a game, walk into the right-hand mirror and go as far as you can before finally disappearing. Now use the Help key to enter the equivalent of SOS in morse code (3 quick taps, 3 long taps, then 3 quick taps).

You should now have infinite lives.

Does the original disk, also works on Amiga?

in the start text it seems so.

Probably Mad Max's first appearance in a commercial game.

This game was released in 2 versions

Nice found. I agree with most in review by ST Graveyard. And I see one big flaw, what really annoys me in game: no crouch. Somehow is not real that you can not kill spiders while they are on floor.

I submitted boxscan for this game.
And as I see, someone had this game, obviously on some of Revolution menu disks. Would be nice to get hands on full version of it. And doing hard disk adaptation, floppy v. with trainer ...
