Game Overview

Arctic Adventure feels like a frosty remix of Pharaoh’s Tomb—same FAST engine, but now you’re trekking through icy wastelands instead of pyramids. You start on this big overworld map, picking which of the 20 levels to dive into (though the final one’s locked until you clear the rest). Some areas are gated behind keys or blocked by ice, so you’re constantly backtracking with new tools—like grabbing a boat to cross frozen lakes or smashing through barriers with pickaxes.

Your guy, Nevada Smith, can’t actually die (infinite lives, thank god), but his pistol runs out of ammo fast unless you find upgrades. The levels are bite-sized, and if you bail through a drainpipe, you might stumble into one of four random bonus stages. It’s all leading to that last level, where you finally grab a piece of the map and call it a win. Classic DOS-era platforming with just enough jank to feel nostalgic.


Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
