In Arctic Adventure, a 1991 action platformer by Apogee Software for DOS, you guide explorer Nevada Smith through freezing caves in search of Viking treasure. The game features an overworld map that lets you choose your path through the non-linear ice caverns, battling yetis, dodging falling stalactites, and solving puzzles to progress.

How to play

Your objective is to navigate each cavern to collect the necessary keys, items, and ultimately the map pieces to find the treasure. Use the arrow keys to move and climb ladders, press Alt or Space to jump, and use Ctrl to fire your revolver. You will need to carefully manage your resources, picking up pickaxes to break through ice blocks and finding boats to cross freezing water.

Tips

Conserve ammo: Your revolver has very limited ammunition. Whenever possible, jump over or dodge enemies instead of shooting them.
Use the pickaxe wisely: The pickaxe is essential for breaking through solid ice blocks to reach keys or hidden paths, so prioritize finding it in each level.
