You will start on a vast arctic "world" map and must find your way
around the hazardous ice caves. You are searching for the remaining
fragments of a map that will eventually lead you to the location of
the hidden treasure cave. Gather pick axes to break walls and bullets
to shoot dangerous enemies, or find the boat to cross the freezing

-------------------------------------------------------NOTE: In the past Apogee has released several other
games, such as Commander Keen, Pharaoh's Tomb,
Dark Ages, etc. These games are created by many
different, talented game designers. However, credit
is invariably given to Apogee's president, Scott
Miller. This should not happen in the future.
