Fire & Ice is a vibrant 2D platformer developed by Graftgold and published in Brazil by Tec Toy for the Sega Master System in 1993. You take control of Cool Coyote, a nimble hero whose signature move is firing ice pellets to freeze enemies solid before shattering them. Spanning multiple distinct worldsโfrom icy plains to ancient Egyptian ruinsโthe game challenges you to hunt down pieces of a key in each level to unlock the exit door. This Master System release successfully captures the smooth gameplay and charming character design that made the original home computer versions so memorable.
How to play
Your objective is to find all the key pieces scattered throughout the level to unlock the exit door before the timer runs out. You must freeze enemies with your ice pellets and then walk into them to shatter them.
- Move: D-pad (Arrow keys)
- Jump (Button 1): Z key
- Shoot Ice (Button 2): X key
- Pause: Enter key
Tips
- Shatter frozen enemies quickly; if left alone for too long, they will thaw out and become a threat again.
- Keep an eye out for hidden snowflake power-ups, which can grant you extra lives, temporary invincibility, or upgraded ice attacks.
- You can drop down through certain thin platforms by holding Down and pressing Jump, which is often necessary to reach hidden key pieces.
